The LIFE Picture Collection has announced the launch of its first-ever NFT collection, which will consist of the organization's most iconic photography. For those unfamiliar, The LIFE Picture Collection is an archive of LIFE's prestigious private photography, which serves as a visual chronicle of the 20th century.
The new collection will be distributed through the emerging NFT marketing KnownOrigin starting April 14 and will feature some of the most iconic images captured in the 20th century. Because of this, the NFTs are geared toward more serious collectors who would like to own authentic and important pieces digitally.
“LIFE always seeks to share its incredible photography with new communities,” said Tom Rowland, President of the LIFE Picture Collection. “There is a growing number of photography enthusiasts on Web3, and we see this as a way to engage with new audiences around photojournalism and art.”
