24 HOURS OF ART: Thursday Highlights
Digital Art Headlines, Market Highlights, and Analysis from 12/11 - 12/12
Sellout Inked
The final 27 ‘Latent Ink’ auctions are in countdown, and a sellout for the 1/1/500 Eko33 collection with Fellowship and ARTXCODE is now a guarantee.
The collection is paced to exceed 350 ETH when all is said and done. Final number tomorrow.
Today a new all-time high is set as ‘#225’ (pictured) sells for 5 ETH from NedRyerson to JamieOV.
Via Pablo Fraile:
“I’m confident this collection will stand out as the defining generative release of the year
Latent Ink is profound, varied, and full of depth. Eko33 has proven to be a true master, elevating generative art from creative coding into a form of artistic expression that feels timeless
A masterpiece collection”
Art Blocks Debut

Via Lars Wander:
“i've been waiting for this moment since i first heard of the [Art Blocks] platform in 2021...
each work runs endlessly in your browser, constantly evolving as it replaces itself tile-by-tile.”

Closing Thoughts
It is safe to say at this stage ‘Latent Ink’ has exceeded even the most bullish of projections (and I’m on the very bullish pre-release record). A phenomenal outcome any way you look at it.
While you may have your own opinions on where “The Nakamoto Card” fits within the art ecosystem, there is no doubting that its sale trends are a good general indicator. This sale outpaces all ETH sales in USD terms since March.
