The four captivating covers, Say The Words That I Can’t Say, The Plum Thief, Ludwig, and Ratty Portrait are designed by four talented artists, meticulously selected by Valuart and Vanity Fair for this pioneering initiative to Support Digital Art. 

Valuart carefully curated this collection to find artists that genuinely represented the growing crypto-art movement and collaborated closely with Vanity Fair to provide the artworks a well-deserved presence on the iconic digital Cover of the Magazine. 

Say The Words That I Can’t Say was created by The Isolationist and represents the value of art to express what cannot be put into words. The Plum Thief, envisioned by Coup of Grace, is a visual journey of an ordinary yet absurd scene in a coffee shop. Ludwig, an artwork by Von Doyl, is an experimentation process with 30 different deep neural networks, reimagining the famous original portrait of Beethoven, aiming to capture the essence of his music. Ratty Portrait, imagined by Matteo Ingrao, is a unique examination of reinventing the physical characteristics of the human body to achieve one’s self-acceptance.

APENFT offers a range of benefits to final bidders of the four 1:1 NFTs, including:

(1) Vanity Fair physical magazine and annual subscription; 

(2) A regular edition of the Genesis NFT badge from APENFT;
