The Belvedere museum in Vienna and the NFT investment fund arteQ are in the 
process of launching an exceptional NFT drop: Whitelisting ends on Thursday, 10 
February, midnight (Central European Time), Gustav Klimt's masterpiece The Kiss 
will be available for sale in a limited number of 10,000 digital excerpts. 

A high-resolution digital copy of the most famous depiction of a pair of lovers 
has been divided into a 100 x 100 grid, resulting in 10,000 inimitable 
individual pieces that are currently offered as non-fungible tokens, or NFTs. 
The "whitelisting" phase, when interested parties can register to purchase on 
the thekiss.art platform, started 26 January 2022 and will close this Thursday 
night, 10 February, at midnight or 00.00 am, Central European Time. If the sale 
is oversubscribed, allocation of the 10,000 NFTs will be decided by lottery. 
From 11 February, whitelisted buyers can complete the transaction within 24 
hours. If any pieces are left after the whitelisting phase, they may be 
purchased from 12 February at thekiss.art. Each NFT can be purchased at an 
retail price of 1,850 euros (incl. minting costs and VAT), respectively 0.65 
Ethereum (excl. minting costs, incl. VAT). The drop, or official release of the 
NFTs, will take place on Valentine's Day, 14 February. The NFT may be dedicated 
to a loved one on the official site – a most romantic digital declaration of 
love!
