24 HOURS OF ART: Friday Highlights
Digital Art Headlines, Market Highlights, and Analysis from 10/31 - 11/1
Hackatao In Progress
Work-In-Progress is building quite a Hackatao collection.
‘Mr. Skull’ and ‘Mrs. Skull’ by Hackatao, each 1/1 artworks minted in November, 2019, are acquired for 25 WETH and ‘Warhol thinks Pop2’, minted in August, 2018, is acquired via private deal.
Via Work-In-Progress:
“While the focus should always be on the art and these fantastic artists I feel that this little community of ours is also so important, so first a big thank you to LarryH for facilitating another smooth deal.
And second, and while one could say Mr and Mrs Skull belong together, today Mr Skull has a new home with roadweb forever linking our fortunes.
Roadweb has been instrumental in helping me secure some incredible XCOPY grails as I have been building out my collection over these last few months and was one of the driving forces behind me discovering the amazing art of Hackatao. As a proper OG collector of Hackatao and like an NFT archaeologist, for lack of a better description, he has helped me uncover some amazing pieces as I begin building my Hackatao collection as well.”
‘Mr. Skull’ is sent to roadweb via trade, in exchange for a multitude of editions including ‘Gazers #459’ by Matt Kane and ‘The Whale’, ‘Stop Talking About Crypto’, and more from Hackatao.
Smol Boi Bid
“Welcome Ringers #492, #268, #287, and #549 by Dmitri Cherniak to the Digital Culture Collection!” says Hivemind.
Two were previously acquired and two are fresh transactions, each for 10.75 WETH.
These additions boost their ‘Ringers’ collection to 31 in total. According to Wayne Simonetti, this pushes Hivemind above Curated (28) for the most held by a Fund or DAO.
Via Matt Zhang, Hivemind Founder:
“smol boi Ringers vibe differently.
There are a total of 36 of them in the [1k] collection…
If you are looking to sell smol boi Ringers, we have a bid.”
