24 HOURS OF ART: Friday Highlights
Digital Art Headlines, Market Highlights, and Analysis from 7/4 - 7/5
Overlord XCOPY
‘OVERLORD’ #9/20 by XCOPY sells for 30 ETH from godsoftescometro to an anonymous collector.
It is the third artwork in the new collector’s wallet, alongside two Beeples (‘GIGACHAD’ and ‘THE 5000 DAY SELECTS’) acquired within the past month.
Seerlight Surprise
‘Neon Village’ by Seerlight sells for 20 ETH to abcdefg.
The sale comes with a fascinating history. Originally minted July 24, 2021 via SuperRare, the artwork sold to cryptomerlion for 7 ETH (~$20,600 USD) that day. Abcdefg then makes an offer of 20 ETH on August 21, 2021. Hold that thought. Anonymoux goes on to collect the artwork for 100 ETH (~$348,700 USD) via secondary on October 13, 2021.
Almost 3 full years later that still active 20 ETH offer from August, 2021 is accepted by Anonymoux, selling the artwork to abcdefg.
But wait, there’s more…
Via Brian:
“oh my god. It’s the 3AC wallet”
Via JMP:
“they made an offer on SuperRare and the ETH were put on escrow in the smart contract… so they were not seen in the liquidation process as retrievable assets” (3AC is a now liquidated hedge fund)

Closing Thoughts
I hope you enjoyed your 4th of July. It was an active holiday!
The Seerlight 1/1 story is an all-timer, filled with digital art history, tying bull to bear, and adding blockchain quirks for good measure.
Outside of the headlines, collector Kanbas caught my eye, continuing to curate and acquire specific artworks within many collections. On this day two Mpkoz collections - Chimera and Metropolis - led the way.
