Lars Christian Kræmmer har overdraget kunstprojektet ARTMONEY til kunstneren Catrine Holte.
Hendes officielle erklæring kommer here:
My name is Catrine Holte and I’m honored to be able to announce historical news.
27 years ago, Lars Christian Kræmmer walked into a record store. When he walked out, he had a CD in his hand. Paid for with an artwork created for the occasion. He didn’t know it then, but Lars Christian had just created artmoney, a global phenomenon with lasting effect. Decades later, artmoney is the world’s only global currency backed by art with more than USD 250,000,000 worth of artmoney issued.
Effective today, I have taken over Artmoney from Lars Christian. I’ve acquired a 93% ownership stake in the project while Lars Christian retains 7%. I’ll be running Artmoney going forward while Lars Christian steps down to focus on other projects.
Briefly about myself:
I’m an emerging contemporary artist with a focus on sculpture. My art practice revolves around the tragedy of the modern person. I’m based in Copenhagen, Denmark. I’ll be developing Artmoney alongside my husband Kristian Holte. Kristian has deep knowledge of the art market, investing and law. For years we have been dreaming of weaving together our professional lives at the highest level. I’m “Art” while Kristian is “Money”.
Our vision is to make Artmoney the ultimate stamp of approval for the world’s most extraordinary emerging artists.
If you have any questions, inquiries or ideas, or just want to say hi, please reach out at catrine@artmoney.org.
One last thing.
What if every serious artist could make a living from art?
Sincerely
Catrine Holte, artist & CEO, Artmoney
