Ippolito quoted in Magazine by Coin Telegraph article about Warhol and NFTs
In an article speculating whether artist Andy Warhol would have embraced or abhorred NFTs if he were still alive, Magazine by Coin Telegraph quoted a blog post by Jon Ippolito, professor of new media at the University of Maine. “‘Good business is the best art,’ Warhol claimed. He once insisted that he wanted to sell shares of his company on Wall Street. While Warhol pushed the boundaries of what art is, he also said: ‘Don’t think about making art, just get it done,’” Ippolito wrote. Still, Ippolito asserted that NFTs might now be too mainstream for Warhol’s provocations; “I think most NFTs serve a dual purpose: overtly to support those who make art, and covertly to validate cryptocurrencies,” he argued.
