Diptyk #58

NFTs, a New Art Rush

A bather floats in a pool worthy of David Hockney: this is Man in Pool, the first African NFT sold at Christie’s, by Osinachi. Diptyk #58 devotes a feature to the NFT revolution, a new art rush that is also reaching the African continent. This winter 2021 issue also recounts Melehi’s Italian years, Arab modernity in the Maghreb and Kader Attia in Doha. Reports, analyses, interviews and portfolios follow an art world in full transformation.
