AI Artist Claire Silver to Show NFT Collection at Louvre

Claire Silver, an artist who utilizes artificial intelligence across her non-fungible token (NFT) projects, is set to debut her new collection at the Louvre Museum in Paris later this month.

Her new collection, titled «can i tell you a secret,» is an «autobiographical series of 100 post-photography pieces created with AI,» Variety first reported. The Louvre exhibition begins on March 21 and will be facilitated by Superchief Gallery, a physical gallery space in New York and Los Angeles that exhibits NFTs.

In addition to her new collection debut, a one-of-one NFT artwork titled “Love in the 4th Turning” will exhibit at the Louvre. According to the piece’s description, its concept was based on the Strauss-Howe generational theory, which posits that «there is a recurring generational cycle of archetypes throughout history.» The piece is available on OpenSea, and at the time of writing, the top bid stands at 44.44 wrapped ether, or $68,677.

In addition to her Louvre show, Silver has signed for representation with global talent agency William Morris Endeavor (WME) as its first AI artist. «We’ll bring AI art to mainstream culture together,» she tweeted about the partnership.

WME has been slowly expanding its roster of NFT artists and developers. Dapper Labs and CryptoKitties co-founder Mack Flavelle, NFT gallery Bright Moments, NFT project Non-Fungible Heroes, NFT startup Boss Beauties and NFT artist Valfré are among its list of Web3 talent.

While Silver is not the first AI artist to exhibit work at the Louvre, her exhibition comes as major art institutions around the world are embracing blockchain-based talent. Last month, pseudonymous NFT collector and influencer Cozomo de’ Medici donated several of his digital artworks to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), while Yuga Labs donated a CryptoPunk to Paris’ Centre Pompidou. Meanwhile, NFT artist Refik Anadol is presenting his generative art at the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in a temporary installation titled «Unsupervised» that runs until April 15.
