Closing Thoughts
High sales across the board in 1/1s, Art Blocks, and assorted collections.
The impactful headlines are hitting fast and frequently. Marfa, Christie’s, and Sotheby’s are in the rearview. MoMA and Saatchi Gallery are on the way. Meanwhile crypto, generative, AI, and CC0 art all have spotlight examples to look toward.
Beef brothko - a star of the week - finally let the meat rest for a day and gave way to Chromie Squiggles picking up the volume torch, pushing their floor back to a magnetized 10 ETH (the stable coin of NFTs). Nice day for The Memes by 6529 with the big Killer Acid release and a NakamotoFreedom changing hands.
