In 2021, I created a treasure hunt to promote the ideas of freedom using my art and the art I collect from other artists. The collection has grown to over 2,600 artworks, and the treasure has surpassed one full bitcoin.
Experience New Art and Join the Treasure Hunt
You can collect and trade these works to gather the 24 words that will unlock the treasure if you can guess the right combination.
Authentication
Each artwork comes with a cryptographically signed Certificate of Authenticity.
Scarcity, Abundance and The Art of the Trade
My collection is fiat-free, meaning artworks are available for barter only. I trade only the minimum required each year to cover operating expenses, with the remainder kept in the collection for exchange and display.
This creates a scarcity of available supply, yet an abundance of exchange opportunities for those who own a work from the collection.
Popular Pieces
Pocket Prints are FREE limited edition prints that you can carry in your pocket and trade to pick up the 24 words. Send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to The Minnaar Museum if you wish to receive one (limit one per person). Pocket Prints are the only works in the collection that do not come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Minnaar Billfolds are currency-sized canvas paintings designed to hold your Pocket Prints and folding money. View collection
Curated works from selected artists that have been added to my collection.
Gold Minnaars are the most sought after. Contact me to get on the waiting list.
Explore the Collection
Those interested in exploring the collection can view the online catalog, or visit the Minnaar Museum & Library located in Dana Point, CA, to experience selected pieces in person.
How to Acquire a Work from the Collection
You can trade directly with me as described below, or you can find privately-owned works for sale in the Collector Forum.
Value Scoring System
Each artwork is assigned an individual Value Score. The larger the number, the higher the value. You can find the Value Score for each piece in the ‘tags’ section of the listing. Each unit of the Value Score equals one ounce of silver in trade value. This Value Score also represents your trade-in value if you wish to trade your artwork for another in the future.
You can search the collection by Value Score using the drop-down menu below.
