A Landmark Publication on the Cultural Role of Art Collectors in Web3

A decade of digital art history through the voices of those who helped shape it. Written by Kate Vass, Collecting Art Onchain is the first publication to place collectors at the center of the evolving world of blockchain-based art.

Through in-depth conversations and curated visual narratives, the book offers a rare and personal glimpse into the motivations, challenges, and cultural insights of the early adopters who have helped define this space.

This publication explores the why behind collecting art on the blockchain, revealing a deeply human story of curiosity, conviction, and care for the digital cultural record.
