Damien Hirst just burned 1,000 of his paintings and will soon burn thousands more

A painting of multicolored dots by artist Damien Hirst burns at the Newport Street Gallery in London on Tuesday as part of his project "The Currency." For it, he released a collection of 10,000 NFTs, each one corresponding to a physical artwork. Buyers could either keep the non-fungible token, in which case the painting would be burned, or keep the painting, in which case they would lose the NFT.
