Description

Founded in 2015, Iconic is a global pioneer dedicated to expanding the reach of cultural institutions and the arts by integrating traditional art with emerging digital networks. The company collaborates with renowned museums, digital artists, and brands—such as Art Basel, the Norman Rockwell estate, and the Jackson Pollock Studio—to produce exclusive digital and physical art campaigns. Their offerings often bridge the physical and digital worlds by embedding NFC chips in physical prints, which allow collectors to verify provenance and claim a corresponding NFT. Iconic operates 'Iconic Moments,' a web3 platform and NFT marketplace (run by Pass It Down, Inc.) where users can buy and trade digital collectibles using a crypto wallet. This initiative was partly conceived as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic to help safeguard cultural heritage and create sustainability for the arts industry. Iconic provides a platform for artists to explore new digital mediums and for cultural institutions to engage with a global audience beyond physical constraints.
