24 HOURS OF ART: Monday Highlights
Digital Art Headlines, Market Highlights, and Analysis from 12/1 - 12/2
Art Blocks Ascension
Art Blocks again leads the day, and three collections top the charts:
‘Chromie Squiggle’ /10k by Snowfro: 19 sales for 100.2 ETH, list: 5.45 ETH
‘Fidenza’ /999 by Tyler Hobbs: 39.9 & 35.5 ETH, list: 39.5 ETH
‘Ringers’ /1k by Dmitri Cherniak: 14.89 & 14 ETH to MarshlandLLC, list: 17 ETH
Contemporary Value
Via Jack Butcher:
“Value invites reflection on how worth is constructed. Is value inherent in the object, or is it determined by the systems that validate it? The work challenges us to consider whether centralized institutions or decentralized networks will shape the future of ownership and authenticity—and, ultimately, how we define value itself.”
For one day at least, value is defined as approximately 15 ETH.
A massive trade breaks in the Jack Butcher and Visualize Value ecosystem, as October 2022 1/1 artwork ‘Value’ moves from Matt O’Brien to 0xDigitalOil, in exchange for 30 Visualize Value works, including 16 ‘Checks - VV Originals’ and 14 assorted ‘Opepen Edition’.

Closing Thoughts
Volume is the word of the day! While yes, we’ve seen surges of it here and there, it hasn’t been spread as broadly as within these 24 hours of art.
We are off to Art Basel Miami tomorrow and will be at the Miami Digital Art Fair for a 12:00pm ‘Collecting The Future’ panel alongside Pablo Fraile, GMoney, and Aleksandra. We then deliver a 1:00pm keynote ‘State of Art: Digital Art by the Numbers’.
Reminder: 24 Hours of Art never misses a day! While we’ll shift back into abbreviated mode through Basel, you can always check in on the latest via my X Highlights tab.
