> Do these pages belong to the same person?

what does your gut tell you?

despite knowing so little about art market and art history that you’ve never heard of the world’s most influential and highest sold living artists, you can probably still make a rational guess that this NFT collection is a copymint. perhaps the fact that the artist never once mentions or links to the collection from their Instagram profile acts as a hint.

this is what I mean by “trivially easy” compared to art forgeries in the real world, which do take professional art historians and years of study, and yet still leaves many of them fooled.

it’s worth noting that the collection has not sold, and very likely never will.

So, you're basically saying that you have no idea whether either Instagram or OpenSea page actually belong to the artist and it's impossible to find out if they do or do not.

The argument "they didn't sell anything" is moot because, again, there are hundreds of thousands of digital artists producing millions of images, and not all of them are "famous minting more than a year and you know what they say about NFTs off the top of your head"
