24 HOURS OF ART: Friday Highlights
Digital Art Headlines, Market Highlights, and Analysis from 11/7 - 11/8
All Time High Skull
The ‘Skulls of Luci’ Collection by Sam Spratt sees its all-time high in ETH terms as ‘Tree of the Bankless’ sells for 100 ETH ($283,500) to AL & AL from BossLogic.
Via Sam Spratt:
“The Skulls of Luci began as free gifts for the people who first supported my first steps into this space. BossLogic received his for placing a bid nearly 3 years ago like the others, but he also took time out of his days for many phone calls back in 2021, answering my many questions about the blockchain, understanding what narratives were real or fake in the opacity of the space at the time, and was one of few people who was generous with knowledge at a time when all of this was new.
Extremely grateful for the years of holding, happy to see a 0 turn into 100 for him, and welcome the newest addition to The Council, who quite unusually but fascinatingly I have not met or spoken to yet, AL & AL. Look forward to changing that.”
