The original heritage photograph features a water-skiing Playboy Bunny Kathy at the Miami Playboy Club in 1970. Moreover, the Playboy heritage NFT buyer will also get a framed limited-edition print of the water-skiing Playboy Bunny photo. The Playboy collection is being auctioned today and once a minimum reserve is met, it will trigger a 24-hour auction. The Playboy NFT auction coincides with Decentraland’s Art Week.

“For the past 67 years, Playboy has provided a platform for artists, writers, and photographers to express themselves with total freedom,” the Miami Beach Collection description says. “From Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí to Keith Haring and Andy Warhol to Kinuko Kraft and LeRoy Neiman, Playboy has served as a creative incubator for some of the world’s most legendary artists long before they became household names.”

“We’re honored to join the Superrare community, and so excited to present our first collaboration during Decentraland Art Week,” Rachel Webber, the chief brand officer at Playboy said in a statement. “We’ve long admired Superrare’s curatorial vision and are thrilled to continue Playboy’s legacy as a curator of artistic expression on the platform.

Decentraland is no stranger to the Playboy brand as the company “made a huge splash in Decentraland in May,” according to Decentraland Foundation member Sam Hamilton. Playboy’s first-ever NFT collection was called “Liquid Summer.” The collection featured a shared vision stemming from Slimesunday and Playboy. At that time, Playboy commended cryptocurrency solutions and non-fungible token assets.

“Crypto and NFTs: these are the new frontiers of creative expression and cultural engagement, where the artistic artifacts of our collective past meet the next generation technology of the blockchain,” Playboy said at the time. “For nearly 70 years, Playboy has worked to challenge the status quo and push society forward.”

While new gold discoveries have seemingly slowed, investigative studies also show that in some areas, gold is being smuggled into the economy by the ton, and often never accounted for as far as per annum issuance estimates.
