24 HOURS OF ART: Friday Highlights
Digital Art Headlines, Market Highlights, and Analysis from 10/17 - 10/18
Beeple Politics
Make that four consecutive days of 50+ ETH across the Beeple edition ecosystem, as activity shifts to Nifty Gateway.
‘POLITICS IS BULLSHIT’ #78/100 sells for $130,000 to bloxperts from groovebro. It is the second October sale for Beeple’s first edition, as it approaches a 4 year anniversary.
An edition of ‘INFECTED’ /123 also sells for $23,456 to beeplecollect.
Doomed Monty
“Finally” says Monty.
An edition of ‘The Doomed’ /100 by XCOPY is his via trade with RoadwebVault, in exchange for 27.5 WETH and ‘Gazer #369’ by Matt Kane.
With the exception of last month’s #1 edition acquisition, the implied trade value of 33.5 ETH marks a 2024 high for ‘The Doomed’.
[2018]
The UnderTheGAN AI collection of Jediwolf makes a rare addition.
‘Alda Garden’ is the 5th SuperRare artwork by artist trio Obvious. It was minted in July, 2018 and originally collected by aman_uensis for 4 ETH ($789 at the time).
Zooming out helps put this one in perspective.
Via Jediwolf:
“Over 15 billion artworks have been generated by AI in the past 12 months. Back in 2018 only ~300 were set in stone (minted and claimed) by pioneers.”

Closing Thoughts
Beeple is cooking. Let’s see if this continues into his anniversary (two weeks away!)
Some big 1/1s are set to close into the weekend, from Defaced to Yatreda to Botto. The latter has kicked off its Sotheby’s week as well.
Fellowship’s celebratory conclusion of the DAILY program’s first year heats up with Noper incoming and Niceaunties slated for the weekend.
