When one thinks of art, the first place the brain goes is not typically finance, specifically NFTs, or blockchains. But a new exhibit called Urban Structures, featuring the work of Czech artist Vratislav Pecka, also known as PosterLad, is merging the two. Twenty-five posters, all featuring famous Czech architectural landmarks, will become a unique NFT, where the buyer also becomes part-owner of the art, and generates income from each additional sale of the actual poster. I spoke to two of PosterLad’s collaborators, Jan Svoboda and Martin Ježek, ahead of Wednesday’s opening.
[Jan] “He’s inspired by the Bauhaus style, and works a lot with shapes, and also Warhol Style pop art, these two things together really shape his work. PosterLad is actually my friend from childhood, we met ten or 15 years ago and recently we discussed making some NFT’s. We thought about architecture, because I am originally an architect. PosterLad was previously based in the Netherlands, and he wanted to come back to Prague. So we decided we would combine Bauhaus style, pop-art, and Czech architecture; these are the basics of the exhibition.”
