NFTS AND WEB3: BeyOnd the Aesthetic Value In the last few centuries, artworks have been sold following the same methodology. The traditional art market was made by curators, museums, galleries, collectors, and artists. Today, something is changing. In the Web3 era, this equilibrium is changing - artists are free to produce and sell artworks directly to collectors; galleries are replaced by platforms; curators are replaced by the community.
