Collecting Art, including Crypto

In collecting, every meaningful evolution is born from a real need: to make access to art more fluid, more conscious, and more attuned to the time we live in.
For this reason, Trium now accepts payments in cryptocurrency and via Klarna, alongside traditional payment methods.

This is not a technical shift, nor a statement of modernity for its own sake. It is a choice fully aligned with the way we understand collecting: a dynamic process that engages with the present without sacrificing depth, rigor, or long-term vision.

The contemporary art market is global by nature. Collectors move between cities, fairs, artists’ studios, and international platforms; they speak different languages, operate within diverse economic contexts, and increasingly seek flexibility in how they acquire works. Offering new payment solutions means responding to this reality—simplifying the act of acquisition without diminishing its meaning.

Cryptocurrency

The introduction of cryptocurrency payments responds to a growing demand from a new generation of collectors, already accustomed to thinking in digital, decentralized, and international terms.
For Trium, accepting crypto is not about following a trend, but about acknowledging a structural shift in how value is conceived, transferred, and preserved.

The artwork remains a physical, cultural, and tangible asset. Technology simply becomes a tool that facilitates its circulation, while preserving essential principles such as provenance, authenticity, and transparency.

Klarna

Alongside cryptocurrencies, the introduction of Klarna allows collectors to distribute the acquisition of an artwork over time, making the entry into collecting more accessible -particularly within the field of prints, editions, and multiples.

Collecting does not mean accumulating; it means building.

The ability to plan an acquisition allows for greater clarity of choice, respecting one’s own rhythm and personal collecting journey.

A coherent vision

Trium is rooted in a real practice of collecting. Every work presented in the store is the result of a choice we would - and often do - make for our own collections.

Integrating new payment tools means supporting other collectors, whether emerging or experienced, in a path that brings together desire, knowledge, and responsibility.

Art remains at the center.
Everything else simply allows us to meet it in the most natural way possible.
