We are proud to present the digital art collection dedicated to Petrus Wandrey, the German post-war artist who shaped DIGITALISM and anticipated the visual language of the digital age long before it became part of everyday culture. His work explored the relationship between science, imagination, and technology at a time when these ideas were outside the established artistic discourse. This collection brings this vision into the present, transferring selected works from his estate into a contemporary digital format.
The project is published by Sabatier, which owns and manages a large portion of Wandrey's available estate and has worked closely with the artist since the late 1990s. It was created in cooperation with Wandrey's widow, Ute Janssen, to ensure continuity with his artistic legacy and the physical collection of his works. The digital editions are not conceived as isolated digital images, but rather as a curated extension of Wandrey's artistic world.
In strategic collaboration with Balfour Capital Group and Steve Alain Lawrence, the project presents a structured model for linking digital art, estate management, and collector access. It allows collectors to engage with Wandrey's work digitally while simultaneously gaining controlled access to selected physical works from his estate. The result is a collection that functions both as digital art and as an entry point into one of the most distinctive artistic legacies of the digital imagination.

"A limited body of work requires a controlled point of entry."
In strategic collaboration with Balfour Capital Group and Steve Alain Lawrence, the project presents a structured model for linking digital art, estate management, and collector access. The collection was launched in November 2025 at NBB Galerie in Berlin together with Balfour Capital Group, marking its first public presentation within a gallery context. It allows collectors to engage with Wandrey’s work digitally while simultaneously gaining controlled access to selected physical works from his estate. The result is a collection that functions both as digital art and as an entry point into DIGITALISM, Wandrey’s artistic vision of the current digital age.
​
The Petrus Wandrey digital collection presents selected works from the artist’s estate as independent digital editions. It extends Wandrey’s idea of DIGITALISM into the present and translates his visual language into a contemporary digital format.
Each edition is based on an existing physical work by Petrus Wandrey and is issued on Ethereum using the ERC-1155 standard.
Unique works are represented as individual digital editions, while graphics and lithographs follow their original edition logic.
The digital editions do not replace the physical artworks; they form a focused selection from the estate and create a structured
digital layer around them.
The collection also serves as an access system. Holders of a digital edition may receive early information about selected works, invitations to private previews, and access to acquisition opportunities before they are offered more broadly. In this sense, the digital edition functions both as artwork and as an entry point into the physical estate.
