Closing Thoughts
Give credit where credit is due. It’s nice to see Sotheby’s handily beat recent OpenSea sales in the Art Blocks department.
Alpha Centauri Kid and Emanuele Ferrari captured deserved attention for double digit ETH sales, and it was easy to miss a stealth secondary market Osinachi 1/1 acquisition (originally minted Dec, 2020). More and more, collectors are targeting years-old 1/1s and holders via WETH offers.
As far as creative uses of gen art go, A Daydream for Libby is a fun one to explore. Good to see things like it find market success.
