However, Superchief Gallery restructured the common ideas and actions about NFTs. In the article, we would like to introduce the World’s first physical NFT gallery!
In some countries, NFTs are sold in various auction houses and art galleries. Superchief Gallery is one of the places, but there is an interesting side of the gallery. In the gallery, there are both the sale of NFTs and physical presentation of the non-fungible tokens! Superchief Gallery is founded in 2012 by Edward Zipco and Bill Dunleavy in Brooklyn, NY. The gallery supports the digital local artists with its multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary structure. You can think that the gallery is the extension of the cultural landscape in its most raw and honest form. By the gallery, cofounders aim to gather artists who are creating in photography, illustration, and so on in order to make local artists’ heard and create a huge art community. Hence, Superchief Gallery can be labeled as a peaceful and supportive art body.
The cofounders of Superchief Gallery generally place the artwork of talented artists on the digital advertising signboards because they want to make people knowledgeable about amazing art pieces. On 25th March 2021, the cofounders started to deal with a different medium called Superchief Gallery to support digital artists. The gallery is placed in Union Square of Brooklyn, and it is presenting NFTs, which are found on digital platforms and marketplaces, physically. The physical NFT gallery is the first decision in the world by Edward Zipco and Bill Dunleavy.
