> What's the practical difference in outcome for the artist between selling an NFT and selling a print?

With NFTs, the artist gets the money before they're dead!

What stops me from getting paid for selling an NFT of your art?

It wouldn't have any value for lack of actual provenance (you can test this by trying to sell your own copy of Fidenza, please report back).

What part of the NFT protocol verifies provenance?

And why did this not work for Davidson Carvalho, who hasn't seen a cent of the money made by someone selling NFTs of his work? If there was no provenance, why did anyone pay $170,000 for them? [1]

Could it be the case that the NFT market doesn't give two figs about provenance?
