One of the most beloved names in all of fine art will soon be officially entering the NFT ecosystem. Today, Marina Picasso, granddaughter of Pablo Picasso, and her son Florian Picasso have announced a multimedia and multi-platform collection of 1,010 NFTs.<\/p>\n

The forthcoming collection \u2014 which will depict one of Pablo Picasso\u2019s ceramic works that has never before been seen publicly \u2014 will be divided up into multiple drops beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET on Jan. 28. First, a collection of five limited sets of 200 NFTs entitled \u201cVisage de Couleur\u201d will be sold via the Picasso family\u2019s own ManAndTheBeat.com marketplace, before the final collection of 10, \u201cVisage de Lumi\u00e8re\u201d are released via Nifty Gateway.<\/p>\n

Although Pablo Picasso\u2019s likeness has been flaunted across the blockchain by way of fanart, the iconic artist\u2019s namesake had never been truly entered into the NFT marketplace until now. Featuring 1,010 NFTs, the collection, entitled \u201cMan and The Beat,\u201d will be further commemorated via Florian<\/a>\u2018s new song \u201cTomorrow\u201d featuring John Legend and Nas, and set to release on Feb 4.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Marina will be extending the drop into March by partnering with a storied auction house for the sale of a 1-of-1 NFT paired with an exclusive piece from her private collection. In an interview with the Associative Press, Marina said the inspiration behind the entire NFT collection comes from the aforementioned ceramic piece, created when she was a child.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a work that represents a face, and it\u2019s very expressive,\u201d Marina tells AP. \u201cIt\u2019s joyful, happy. It represents life \u2026 It\u2019s one of those objects that have been part of our life, our intimate lives \u2014 my life with my children.\u201d<\/p>\n

A portion of proceeds from this Picasso family NFT endeavor will be donated towards Nurse Heroes \u2014 a charity organization working to create a future without a shortage of nurses in the workforce \u2014 as well as Carbon180 \u2014 a climate-focused NGO on a mission to fundamentally rethink carbon.<\/p>\n
