Meet kenny schachter, art insider and nft crusader
By Shanti Escalante-De Mattei. And, suddenly, he has started to get recognition that has long eluded him. The space will feature paintings, an installation, and a sculpture on the second floor of the fair. At his home and studio on the Upper East Side some days before the fair opened, Schachter reminisced about the impact NFTs have had on his career.
To begin with, his unexpected success in the space has given him some respite from the world of art reporting that he had become immersed in.
For more than thirty
More important though, his status as the resident NFT guy has gotten him further in his art career than years of reporting ever could. So, if NFTs are just as bad as the art world, was it the opportunity to make more money that held the appeal for Schachter? What Schachter cares about is attention. And now, finally, Schachter can. The works at Independent, which touch on the role of technology in our lives today, were all rendered digitally but will appear in a physical form at the booth.
Each will have a corresponding NFT. Many of the works are self-portraits. Later, he emailed to explain that the power strip had simply not been plugged in. Today, the fans are whirring as Schachter takes his position overlooking the art world. All Rights Reserved.
