FACEPRINTS by Cem Hasimi mints 169 on SuperRare with four Plan X physical canvases

Cem Hasimi’s FACEPRINTS collection is live as a finished SuperRare mint. The Ethereum ERC-721 page shows 169 artworks minted and 91 owners. The blind mint priced at 0.0869 ETH, with a five-mint wallet limit, and the allowlist and public windows were set for 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. ET with a mint start listed as September 17, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.
The phygital hook is narrow and specific. SuperRare’s listing says four Faceprints come with a unique 100 by 100 centimetre hand-painted work by Hasimi. Those canvases are exhibited at Plan X Gallery for the duration of the show, then can be shipped worldwide after the exhibition. Collectors are contacted by the gallery to arrange delivery. That is not a claim that every one of the 169 editions includes a painting.
Verse’s FACEPRINTS PHYSICALS series, released September 17, lists four items on Ethereum, two owners, no open listings, about $1,470 in sales volume, and a highest sale of $1,470 when this desk checked the series page. Those figures describe the physical-paired layer tracked on Verse. They do not restate the full 169-edition SuperRare mint.
A September 21 Market Insiders weekend roundup flagged FACEPRINTS as another digital-and-physical art model after a mixed NFT weekend. That roundup also cited 0.0869 ETH for standard editions. Where secondary summaries diverge from SuperRare’s own mint page, this wire follows the SuperRare and Verse pages: 169 minted, 91 owners, four physical pairings, and the Verse physical series sales print above.
Hasimi’s project text frames FACEPRINTS inside Do You Know Me?, his first solo exhibition in Italy. Each work begins with a single continuous hand-drawn line. A custom application, developed with AI assistance, grows a moving field of contours around that line so the drawing becomes a Faceprint. The listing says no two Faceprints are the same, and even the same drawing can produce a different configuration. Faces emerge, shift, and dissolve rather than settle into a fixed portrait.
That process matters for a phygital desk because the physical canvas is not a print-on-demand sticker of a JPEG. SuperRare describes the four paired works as hand-painted and gallery-shown. The NFT is the on-chain edition and the proof of which collector the gallery will contact for shipping. The painting still moves through a traditional gallery logistics path after the show ends.
Blind mints hide trait assignment until after payment. Buyers accept the 0.0869 ETH price without choosing which Faceprint they receive, subject to the five-per-wallet cap. That format pushes demand into the primary sale while shifting rarity discovery onto secondary listings. With 91 owners for 169 tokens, the SuperRare owner count implies an average holding above one piece per owner. It does not identify which wallets hold the four physical-paired editions.
Gallery pairings also change the risk profile. A standard Faceprint is an Ethereum NFT. A Faceprint that includes the 100 by 100 centimetre painting adds custody, shipping, and exhibition timing. Plan X holds the canvases during the show. Worldwide shipping is arranged after the exhibition, according to SuperRare. Collectors who want the physical layer are buying into that gallery timeline, not an instant vault redemption like a trading-card pack.
FACEPRINTS sits beside other September vault-and-redeem wires without repeating them. Courtyard’s Press Start Pokémon packs and Panini America’s sports NFT tape already covered card-style phygitals earlier on September 20. This story is gallery art: a SuperRare edition mint with a four-piece hand-painted physical layer at Plan X, not a randomized trading-card pack or sneaker reveal.
What to watch next is whether the remaining Faceprints trade after the blind mint, whether Plan X completes worldwide shipping for the four physical works, and whether Verse’s physical series prints more sales beyond the $1,470 volume already shown. Until those secondary and logistics prints update further, the confirmed facts stay on the primary pages: 169 minted on SuperRare, 91 owners, 0.0869 ETH blind mint, and four hand-painted canvases tied to specific Faceprints.
