Closing Thoughts
Massive day at the top for Art Blocks, Themes and Variations, and Gordon Goner. Jack Butcher volume continues with Signature again the floor mover and shaker, pushing back through 4 ETH. At a 200 edition count, it will continue to be more prone to swings.
The GIGACHAD highlighted as a steal of last week sees a flip from $10,000 to 6 WETH and 4 additional NFTs. Another ACK OTC deal, this time for pale blue death. BoldLeonidas starting to surge in the 1/1 category, highlighting the long game brilliance of pairing with Mando’s Minutes. Win-win proposition. Makes the Minutes visually appealing and humorous, drives attention to artist.
1/1/X collectors were thinking sweeps across a number of collections. Let's see if that trend continues in the coming days.
I’m off to LA for ThankYouX’s inertia opening at Sotheby’s. Tomorrow’s report may be on West Coast time (3 hours later) - let’s see!
Catch up on yesterday’s 48 HOURS OF ART conversation here. Alpha Centauri Kid revisited Warothy’s, Broken Keys, piano plans, and more, ThankYouX talked about the aforementioned solo show, and Matt O’Brien brought an excellent breakdown of the Jack Butcher ecosystem and action.
