Shock of the New

TASCHEN’s Guide to the Digital Art Revolution

Robert Alice’s On NFTs is the first major art historical survey text on the most compelling, disruptive area of contemporary art today. A rigorous and critical examination of all facets of the NFT ecosystem, On NFTs takes a multidimensional, artist-led approach, leaving its readers with a richer understanding of a topic often shrouded in misconception and pixelated mystery.

The book, presented in TASCHEN’s iconic grand-scale BABY SUMO format, covers a wide range of essential information for both those new to or experienced with the modern medium. Featuring 10 essays from the world’s leading voices in art and the blockchain, including Hans Ulrich Obrist, On NFTs is a book that celebrates unlikely and thought-provoking connections from across art history. Expect illustrations of Rembrandt paintings alongside CryptoPunk avatars, extensive essays explaining the nitty-gritty world of NFTs—including Sol LeWitt’s influence on today’s artistic algorithms—as well as behind-the-scenes glimpses of the creative processes of pioneering artists from Beeple and Emily Xie to Snowfro and Refik Anadol.

Accompanying the 10 essays, On NFTs presents a co-curated survey of 101 key practices working in NFTs today. With each profile uniquely authored by handpicked experts, including curators, critics, artists, and AI, On NFTs embraces diverse and global voices to navigate this borderless movement. Perfect for both natives and newcomers, On NFTs features an extensive glossary of key terms, and a comprehensive exhibition history and timeline of the digital art canon.


A hallmark of Sofia Crespo’s work, {{floral automata_1236}} (2023) explores the relationship between our conceptualization of the world and its artistic representation, highlighting the inherent beauty of natural subjects even when viewed through a digital framework. Drawing from historical models of understanding the world, Crespo's work is a modern codification of ideology into visual expressions that reflect both the complexity and beauty of nature. Spanning over two meters wide, {{floral automata_1236}} can be mounted as a vast cohesive quadriptych or framed independently. The scale and detail of the work invite viewers into Crespo's meticulously crafted digital natural world.



Art Edition (No. 1–100) with the NFT {{floral automata_1236}} (2023) by Sofia Crespo, four accompanying prints of the NFT, signed by the artist, and the book On NFTs in a stainless steel slipcase.

Also available in a Collector's Edition, in The Hard Code Edition, and in three alternative Art Editions in a stainless steel slipcase with NFTs and accompanying signed prints from artists Refik Anadol, Dmitri Cherniak, and Osinachi.

The editor

Robert Alice makes art, exhibitions, and books that explore blockchains and their histories. The first artist to auction an NFT at a major auction house, their work Portraits of a Mind (2019–) was pivotal to the NFT space’s growth.

In 2022, Alice, who lectures globally, co-produced the first academic conference on NFTs at the University of Oxford. Alice’s work is part of the permanent collections of several institutions, including the Centre Pompidou, Paris.
