Closing Thoughts
We are back from Art Basel, with the main takeaway that this year - more than any other - felt like digital art is normalized and simply belongs.
Even though there were no newsletters, there are always 24 Hours of Art. Catch-up via X Highlights here.
While the digital art market has certainly taken a breather after its epic week-long surge, it’s important to frame a day like today as one that would have outpaced many days before it. Ample highlights.
Let’s have a great week. It’s time to set the table for 24 Hours of Art in 2025!
