Digital Art Headlines, Market Highlights, and Analysis from 9/26 - 9/27
Fair Warning Doubles Estimate
Fair Warning auctions ‘Autoglyph #30’ by Larva Labs for $413,000, more than doubling estimates of $150-200k.
Loïc Gouzer’s private platform - one that has sold 35 artworks for over $37 million total - auctions a digital work for only the second time in its history and the first in years since ‘CHAOS #1 Human’ by Urs Fischer.
Originally donated by Larva Labs, the Autoglyph’s proceeds go to Oceana and pollution free oceans.

Closing Thoughts
An Autoglpyh crosses over and more than 200 ETH in XCOPY edition volume. Not too shabby! Signals are strong.
Beyond the headlines, a line item that catches my eye is a Yatreda ‘Strong Hair’ selling into a 0.5 WETH offer. I’m sure there are many collectors who would have bested that one.
I may sneak a ‘This Week in ART’ recording into the 24 Hours of Art Telegram today before heading into NYC for several gallery events. See you there.
