Christiejeva dražba "No Time Like Present" se pričakuje za označevanje mejnikov NFT

Dražbeni velikan Christie's upa, da bo s svojo prihajajočo dražbo »No Time Like Present« postavil več mejnikov v zgodovini kripto umetnosti.

Poleg tega bo to prvič, da bodo nekatera umetniška dela ponujena zunaj trgovalne platforme NFT. Meebits, najnovejše ustvarjanje, ki je prišlo iz Larva Labs. "No Time Like Present" bo tudi prvenec dražbene hiše za Yacht Club Bored Ape (BAYC) Yuga Labs.

These unique artworks, created by Larva Labs co-founders Matt Hall and John Watkinson, have made appearances at Christie’s auctions before.

Ljubezenska zgodba Christie's NFT

It’s no real secret how NFTs have risen in the crypto space this year. Christie’s was the first auction house to embrace them, and having been hitting milestones ever since. Their sale of a Beeple NFT, which took place back in March and fetched in excess of $65 million, domnevno remains unbeaten. In preparation for that sale, the auctioning giant started accepting Ether (ETH) as a payment option.

More recently, Christie’s sold off an NFT collection from their youngest artist ever. FEWOCiOUS, whose real name is Victor Langlois, was 18 years old when they sold their collection entitled “Hello, I’m Victor (FEWOCiOUS) and This Is My Life” with Christies, at the beginning of July. Each lot in the collection represented a year in the creator’s life between the ages of 14 and 18. The entire series sold for a total of $2.16 million.

Later that month, the auction house hosted their Art + Tech Summit in New York. They kicked it off with a panel entitled “NFT @ Christie’s: Finding Value in the Unknown.” Christie’s cataloger Meghan Doyle, TRON’s Justin Sun, art collector Ronnie Pirovino and artists Mad Dog Jones and Micah Johnson all served on the panel.
