"Erased de Kooning" 1953
Robert Rauschenberg
Wikipedia:
"He approached de Kooning, an artist he admired and who was at the height of his career, and asked for a drawing that he could erase to create a new work of art. De Kooning gave Rauschenberg a densely worked drawing that would be difficult for the younger artist to remove. Rauschenberg worked on the drawing for over a month using a variety of different erasers."

Les Choristes 1877
Edgar Degas
Pastel on monotype
From Wikipedia:
"At the end of 2009, while on loan to the Musée Cantini in Marseille, the work was stolen. Investigators were unable to find any leads. It was recovered in 2018 when customs inspectors found it in the luggage compartment of a bus they searched in the department of Seine-et-Marne outside Paris; the thieves have not been identified. After being found to be relatively undamaged, it was displayed again at the Musée d'Orsay."
Bankless talked about stablecoins with Charles Calomiris and talked about trying UoA to regional consumption bundles:
"Jevons, one of the great founders of modern economics in the late 19th and early 20th century, developed the theory of the unit of account and what an optimal unit of account is and basically showed us something very intuitive, which is the optimal unit of account that we want to be paid in would be our consumption bundle."
"... New England dollar and the Southeastern dollar and the Western dollar, and then allowing those to all be legal tender and then having a national dollar that's a weighted aggregation of that would allow us to all be paid in ways that would be much more optimal for us from the perspective of consumers"
