Art: the unexpected chefs-d'oeuvre
In the unique and extraordinary history of the current past, Andy Warhol reclaimed the title of American artist with the most expensive lot at auction with this staggering $195 million result, achieved at a Christie’s New York sale this past May. The 1964 silkscreen painting Shot Sage Blue Marilyn unseated Jean-Michel Basquiat’s iconic skull painting Untitled (1982) and became the second-most expensive work ever to sell at auction.
Until October, the most Mike Winkelmann — the digital artist known as Beeple — had ever sold a print for was $100.
Today, an NFT of his work sold for $69 million at Christie’s. The sale positions him “among the top three most valuable living artists,” according to the auction house. The record-smashing NFT sale comes after months of increasingly valuable auctions. In October, Winkelmann sold his first series of NFTs, with a pair going for $66,666.66 each. In December, he sold a series of works for $3.5 million total. And last month, one of the NFTs that originally sold for $66,666.66 was resold for $6.6 million.
Art is a form of thought.
It’s a way to understand “things” it’s a way to communicate “things” it’s a way to solidify “things.”
