Playboy’s entrance to the NFT space will see the company curate art collections from over 70 years of archived art and photography, likely stemming largely from Playboy Magazine. TIME Magazine also entered the NFT space recently to auction off iconic covers from the 60s to th present day.

As well as curating its own art, the media company is collaborating with Slime Sunday, an artist that makes collages with Playboy artwork and imagery. Playboy is also partnering with Blake Kathryn, a multidisciplinary artist releasing a pride-themed NFT art curation this June.
