Outland, an NFT (non-fungible token) platform launched by Los Angeles-based collector Jason Li in 2021 with a focus on essays and criticism, will release its first commissioned NFT for purchase this week.
The new digital work, by renowned Chinese painter Fang Lijun, marks the site’s first foray into developing and selling NFTs.
Until now it had primarily focused on fostering a more scholarly dialogue around the emergent format by way of criticism and art history.
