Artfi, a leading technology enterprise, has recently made public its Genesis Pass whitelist. This move precedes its much-anticipated formal launch. Consequently, a select 10,000 Genesis Pass NFT holders will soon have the unique opportunity to purchase fractionalized art pieces on the Artfi platform. The initial offering? A classic collection by Sacha Jafri titled ‘The Six Elements.’
However, the demand for this innovative platform is evident. Over 25,000 users have already registered their interest, eager to be part of the initial Artfi release’s whitelist. Significantly, this fractionalized approach to art ownership promises to revolutionize the art world. By dividing artworks into smaller portions, Artfi aims to enhance both ownership and liquidity. This innovative approach brings coveted artworks within the grasp of a broader spectrum of collectors.
Moreover, Sacha Jafri’s ‘The Six Elements’ is more than any collection. It was birthed from a prestigious commission by Rolls Royce. The luxury automobile giant requested Jafri craft artwork for six Phantom models. Rising to the challenge, Jafri conceptualized and created six distinct paintings. These artworks resonate with the themes of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Wind, and the overarching theme of Humanity.
Additionally, Artfi has meticulously divided ‘The Six Elements’ into 10,000 portions. These will be allocated to the fortunate Genesis Pass subscribers. Besides owning a fragment of this iconic collection, holders will also enjoy the privilege of participating in future fractionalized art sales on the Artfi platform. As a bonus, they’ll receive a complimentary token airdrop.
Jafri’s decision to collaborate with Artfi stems from a shared vision. He resonates with the company’s mission to democratize art. “Artfi’s efforts provide opportunities for individuals who might have missed out,” Jafri noted. “The thought that thousands might own a fragment of my creation, a moment, or a piece of my essence is heartwarming.”
It’s worth noting that Jafri has been familiar with accolades and recognition. In 2021, his ‘Journey of Humanity’ canvas artwork garnered a staggering $62 million. This monumental piece not only fetched a significant sum but also set a global record for its sheer size, crafted meticulously over seven months.
