It’s not often you hear a Major League Baseball player trading in his bat for a paint brush but that is exactly what Micah Johnson did in 2018. What started as a way to escape the anxiety and pressure of playing a professional sport has turned into a full-time vocation. His works that feature strong gestural charcoal lines complemented with subtle vibrant colors have been collected through out the world.

AUCTION PIECE
THE FIRST PHYSICAL AKU EVER MADE.
To spotlight one of several ways NFTs can be used to ensure artist royalties in the traditional art world, one of the world’s leading contemporary art galleries, Art Angels, will be hosting Aku.001 in their state-of-the-art vault. This enables ownership to switch hands through transacting the NFT on the digital art marketplace, Nifty Gateway, where artists receive royalties on secondary sales.
The NFT owner will be the only person allowed access to view Aku within the vault.
“Finding new ways to support our artists' careers has always been at the forefront of our initiatives for Art Angels,” says Jacquelin Napal co-founder of Art Angels. “We are offering collectors an incomparable opportunity to keep their artworks in pristine condition during a time when the artwork can be traded and change hands multiple times.”
