Millionaire pop artist Jeff Koons wants to send his artworks to the surface of the moon, and leave them there permanently. The project is tied to his debut NFT collection.

US artist Jeff Koons has announced that he will send some of his own sculptures to the moon later this year, which will then be sold on earth in the form of NFTs (non-fungible tokens), the digital assets that are shaking the contemporary art market.

“I am very excited to announce my first-ever NFT project, ‘Moon Phases,’ rooted in humanistic and philosophical thought,” the artist wrote in a Twitter post.

“Space explorations have given us a perspective of our ability to transcend worldly constraints,” he adds in the post.
