Electronic Reproduction

Electronic reproduction on this site is done with the best technology available. However, there is a reduction in the quality of the images. The scans used on this site have been compressed as much as possible so that their download time is fast while remaining as close as possible to the original artwork.

Each individual painting is specified "ORIGINAL" where applicable, whereas prints are specified "LIMITED EDITION PRINT". A limited-edition print will never be falsely designated as an original.

If required, a Certificate of Authenticity can be provided to buyers. Please specify this when ordering.

Please contact Ari Hersch via the CONTACT PAGE for any queries.

WHAT IS AN NFT? WHAT DOES NFT STAND FOR?

Non-fungible token.

How do NFTs work?

At a very high level, most NFTs are part of the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum is a cryptocurrency, like bitcoin or dogecoin, but its blockchain also supports these NFTs, which store extra information that makes them work differently from, say, an ETH coin. It is worth noting that other blockchains can implement their own versions of NFTs.
