Addendum from Artmarket.com concerning the cryptocurrency Artprice Coin in the NFT market

PARIS, Dec. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Following Artmarket.com’s press release of 7 December 2021: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/artmarketcom-heres-why-the-art-market-via-the-nft-revolution-will-enjoy-exponential-growth-with-artprice-301438529.html
Artmarket.com has received requests for further details from shareholders, investors, observers and the cryptocurrency community concerning, notably, the following paragraph in that press release:
‘The DNS artpricecoin.com, filed in December 2017 (along with all the corresponding names) illustrates Artprice by Artmarket’s early awareness of this paradigm shift to NFTs and cryptocurrencies’.
Artmarket.com wishes to point out that, to date, there is not yet a specific cryptocurrency for the group, but that its work groups, after intense reflection, projected different scenarios where French and/or European legislators and/or American legislators would start building workable legislative frameworks for a crypto-culture which already has a relatively long history and is currently practised by more than a billion people around the world.
The development and implementation of these frameworks (i.e. the legal adjustment to an existing reality) is a process seen repeatedly throughout history, particularly in the fields of economics and science during the 20th century.
Artmarket.com’s global strategy has long included the creation of a specific cryptocurrency for the art market, as demonstrated by the filing date of the DNS artpricecoin.com (.net .org, etc. and its corresponding names).
Artprice has been studying the historical and economic realities of the art market for many years, both at its core and on its periphery, and it wishes to remind today’s emerging cryptocurrency community of the real starting point of crypto culture: the mythical crypto anarchist Manifesto by Timothy C. May at the CypherPunk Meeting in 1992.
Groupe Serveur, an Internet pioneer in Europe since 1987 and Artprice by Artmarket’s reference shareholder, has always been sensitive to the CypherPunk community, itself a regular user of PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) since 1991.
For thierry Ehrmann, founder of the Server Group: ‘Computer scientist Philip Zimmermann is a visionary who very quickly understood the imperative need to protect personal data.’
Groupe Serveur’s culture is deeply rooted in cryptology and is very close to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Simon Singh’s book The Code Book (1999) as a perfect illustration of the history of cryptology as experienced by Groupe Serveur.
With favourable legislation in Europe and/or USA, the issuance of this cryptocurrency by its American subsidiary Artprice Inc. (SoundView Press since 1992) will pursue one primary objective: to restore artists to the central place they should be occupying within the art market.
For thierry Ehrmann: ‘In historical terms, the nearest thing to the impact of NFTs on the art world was the paradigm shift we now call the ‘Renaissance’. Not since then – when Johannes Gutenberg’s printing press allowed artists to print editions of their work – has there been such a massive transfer of power into the hands of artists.
The Renaissance allowed artists to generate incomes and to control their production independently in their workshops and factories. Today with cryptocurrencies being essential to the exponentially growing NFT market, we are experiencing a similar paradigm shift.’
thierry Ehrmann, CEO of Artmarket.com and founder of Artprice, is a sculptor and visual artist, registered for over 36 years with copyright companies, and creator of the famous Abode of Chaos, a vast CyberPunk and dystopian metaverse of 6,300 works on a 9,000m² site in Lyon France.


Acutely aware of the conditions and responsibilities facing artists today, thierry Ehrmann has been communicating daily with other creators in various artistic disciplines and organising lively debates with artist-in-residence at the Abode of Chaos for three decades.
Artmarket.com wants to liberate artists from the cogs of an unforgiving system that slows their emergence. Formerly dependent on orders from ecclesiastical hierarchies, then from royal families and aristocrats, artists today are very often confronted with insurmountable economic obstacles preventing them from making themselves known and from being fairly compensated for their work.
An authorized creation of the Artprice Coin cryptocurrency by Artmarket.com will ultimately make it possible to restore the balance between artists and other players in the art market – a balance that is often weighted against the artist – via a more equitable distribution of wealth between the parties. 
Artists will then be able to watch their income and notoriety grow without damaging their reputations or their relationships with the art market’s key players. 
In 2022, entire communities, whether street, land or performance artists – often economically isolated from the art market due to the particular nature of their works – will finally have the opportunity to trade directly with their audiences using exchanges of Artprice Coin by Artmarket.com.

Harper Collins Publishers India is Delighted to Announce the Recent Publication of ‘People We Love’ by Preeti Shenoy

NEW DELHI, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HarperCollins Publishers India is delighted to share the recent publication of People We Love by bestselling author Preeti Shenoy. At once tender and sharp, this collection of stories offers intimate, truthful and relatable portraits of the people we cherish, the ones we lose, and the people we become.

ABOUT THE BOOKThe people we love never truly leave our story…In these tender yet piercing stories, Preeti Shenoy returns to some of her most beloved characters to reveal who they were before they appeared in her bestselling novels It’s All in the Planets and The One You Cannot Have.Aniket, a coder, carries the weight of a longing for Trisha that he cannot bring himself to act on. Nidhi abandons her corporate life to teach pottery, only to discover that clay is far more forgiving than the people she loves. A quiz competition sparks an unlikely romance between Aman and Shruti, one that must withstand parental disapproval and class divides. And Anjali, a journalist, is so busy chasing stories that she almost misses the one unfolding in her own life.Set against the pulse of contemporary India, People We Love explores the tug-of-war between duty and desire, family and freedom, who we are and who we dare to be. Intimate and deeply felt, these are stories about love that stays, leaves and almost slips away … love that quietly and irrevocably shapes the people we become.Preeti Shenoy, author, says, “People We Love is a collection of three long stories, prequels to my bestsellers It’s All in the Planets and The One You Cannot Have. If you have read those books, you already know how these characters’ stories unfold. But what you don’t know yet is where it all began, the loves they carried, the choices they made, and the people they were before life shaped them into who you met on those pages. Writing these prequels felt like returning to a home I hadn’t realised I missed, and discovering rooms I had never been in before.”Rashmi Menon, Associate Publisher – HarperCollins India, adds, “Preeti Shenoy has an extraordinary gift for finding the heartbeat of ordinary lives. People We Love is a warm, wise and deeply humane collection of short stories that reunites readers with favourite characters from her bestselling novels It’s All in the Planets and The One You Cannot Have, weaving them into fresh, deeply satisfying narratives. These characters feel like people you know, and their journeys will move, comfort and surprise you. This uplifting, thought–provoking collection reminds us why we turn to stories in the first place. We couldn’t be more excited to share it with our readers.”ABOUT THE AUTHOR Preeti Shenoy is among the highest-selling authors in India.

Fulfilling PM Modi’s Dream of Atmanirbhar Bharat: India’s AI Writing Startup Kreativespace Incubated at IIT Kharagpur

Kreativespace, an Indian AI-powered writing platform founded by Vinet Kakadea, has been incubated at IIT Kharagpur and recognized by SVNIT University, Ministry of Education under Bodhan AI Conclave also through the NVIDIA Inception Program, AWS Startup Program, and DPIIT under Startup India.The platform unifies 8 AI-powered writing tools, along with AI Humanizer and Message AI feature being the latest addition into a single ecosystem, so you can generate and refine content all in one place.The company reports more than 50,000+ signed-up users, 75,000+ anonymous users, and roughly 100,000 monthly website visitors, positioning itself as the only Indian company operating at scale in the global AI writing market.SURAT, India, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kreativespace, an AI-powered writing platform, is building out its position as the only homegrown alternative in a market long dominated by international tools such as Grammarly and QuillBot. Founded by Vinet Kakadea and incubated at IIT Kharagpur, the company has aligned its growth with the broader push behind Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India) initiative, which encourages indigenous technology development capable of competing on a global scale.

As AI adoption accelerates across India’s education, research, and enterprise sectors, Kreativespace is among a small group of Indian startups building writing technology designed to compete directly with established international platforms.Kreativespace’s progress has been recognized by several institutions central to India’s startup and technology ecosystem. The company has been incubated at IIT Kharagpur, selected under SSIP 2.0 through SVNIT University, and chosen by the Ministry of Education to present its work at the Bodhan AI Conclave. It has also been accepted into the NVIDIA Inception Program and the AWS Startup Program, and holds DPIIT recognition under the Startup India initiative.Where many writing-tool users rely on separate subscriptions for content generation to refinement for grammar correction, paraphrasing, plagiarism checking, citation generation, and editing, Kreativespace brings these functions into a single platform as a super-app for AI writing tools. The company says its approach centers on affordability and accessibility alongside performance, aiming to make advanced AI writing assistance available to a wider range of users regardless of geography or budget.The idea for Kreativespace took shape while founder Vinet Kakadea was studying at New York University and Marymount University in the United States, where he experienced firsthand how students, researchers, and professionals often need multiple paid subscriptions to cover writing-related tasks. That fragmented experience led him to build a super-app offering each of these capabilities together, at a more accessible price point.Kreativespace combines 8 AI-powered writing tools with AI Humanizer and Message AI feature being the latest addition, allowing users to generate, rewrite, refine, and humanize content without moving between separate platforms. The product is available via web platform, mobile apps on the App Store and Google Play, browser extensions for Chrome, Mozilla, and Edge, and a Google Docs add-on.Vinet Kakadea, Founder of Kreativespace, said, “Kreativespace’s vision is to digitalize the entire Indian education ecosystem to support PM Modi’s Atmanirbhar Bharat scheme.”About KreativespaceKreativespace with the Motto of Making Writing Accessible for Everyone: Kreativespace is an AI-powered writing platform built to make AI writing tools accessible, affordable, and effective for students, researchers, educators, professionals, content creators, startups, and enterprises. Founded by Vinet Kakadea, the company is incubated at IIT Kharagpur and has been recognized by AWS Startup Program, the NVIDIA Inception Program, and DPIIT under Startup India.
