Bitcoin accepted at Silicon Valley Contemporary art show

The Silicon Valley Contemporary art show has opened, and fittingly, there are pieces available for purchase by Bitcoin.

Chicago and Los Angeles-based gallery KM Fine Arts is accepting the virtual currency for art by Dana Louise Kirkpatrick, whose expressive large-scale drawings and paintings have been collected by Anthony Kiedis, Flea, Timothy Hutton and Jorge Pérez.

The gallery is accepting Bitcoin for all the works, including one by Kirkpatrick called “Off Limits but Blessed by the Fed” inspired by the currency. It’s priced at 41 Bitcoins or $18,500.
