Claire Silver's NFT Louvre Exhibit Never Happened: Untangling the Mess

AI artist Claire Silver announced last week that her NFTs would be displayed at the Louvre in Paris, only to have the iconic museum deny the claim shortly afterward. 

Here's What We Know: 

• AI artist Claire Silver announced her NFTs would be exhibited at the Louvre Museum in Paris, but the museum denied it shortly after.

• Silver's announcement received support from the Web3 space, but members of the traditional art space were skeptical.

• Superchief Gallery NFT helped facilitate Silver's exhibition, but the Paris Blockchain Week misrepresented details about the event's location and caused confusion.

• The mishap led to Superchief Gallery canceling its participation, and the Louvre confirmed that Silver would not be exhibiting there.

• Ultimately, it seems that neither Paris Blockchain Week nor Superchief Gallery deliberately deceived Silver. Nevertheless, artists often bear the brunt of the backlash from perceived failures.
