Contemporary100 is blending the excitement of trading cards with the world of art. They’ve launched a new collectible platform called Contemporary [Trading Cards], showcasing the work of 100 artists from across the globe.
I’m so excited about this! Contemporary100 is launching these incredible art collections as trading cards on July 28th. It’s a really cool way to discover and collect contemporary art – much more accessible than buying paintings, you know? Each pack has 10 cards: nine regular ones, one shiny foil card, and you even have a chance of getting an ultra-rare card actually signed by the artist! I can’t wait to start collecting.
The initial exhibition features a diverse group of artists who create works using various mediums like painting, sculpture, photography, installations, digital art, performance pieces, and public artworks. Artists showcased include Daniel Arsham, Felipe Pantone, Hebru Brantley, Tyrrell Winston, Joshua Vides, Stickymonger, Vhils, Josh Sperling, Gina Beavers, Ludovic Nkoth, Johnson Tsang, Brooke DiDonato, and Joseph Lee.
According to artist Daniel Arsham, trading cards are more than just collectibles; they connect pictures, physical items, and personal recollections, holding deeper narratives than what you can immediately see.
Daniel Arsham explains that trading cards are unique because they combine visual art, physical objects, and personal memories, holding stories that go beyond what you see on the card itself. He believes involving modern artists in creating these cards makes collecting more accessible and allows fans to own something special and engaging from the artists they admire.
Artists have played with trading cards before, but Contemporary [Trading Cards] is unique – it’s the first platform bringing together 100 artists in one collectible series. These cards aren’t just collectibles; they also let you discover new artists and their work, offering a more affordable way to engage with art that might otherwise be too expensive or hard to find.
Contemporary100 has been helping millions find modern art online for years. Now, we’re extending that experience into physical spaces, making it easier for people to explore new artists, support those they enjoy, and start building their own art collections,” said founder Coby Katz.
We’ll be adding more artwork, special chase cards, limited-edition items, collaborations, and community events in future releases. Contemporary Trading Cards become available on July 28th. Single packs cost $49.99, a three-pack bundle is $129.99, and ten packs are priced at $399.99.
