24 HOURS OF ART: Thursday Highlights
Digital Art Headlines, Market Highlights, and Analysis from 9/18 - 9/19
Loading XCOPY…
‘Loading New Conflict... Redux 2’ by XCOPY sells for 300 ETH ($729,000 USD) from hex6c to pellacollection.
In conjunction with XCOPY’s monochrome ‘Loading New Conflict…’ artwork, this July 2018 SuperRare mint is 1 of 6 ‘Redux’ variants that infuse color.
Via Benji:
"After a 9 month hunt, I am happy to announce a new acquisition for my PellaCollection, this is the 20th work minted on SuperRare by XCOPY all the way back on 25 July 2018. For me, this work is the very essence of XCOPY, both stylistically and in the commentary it conveys.
This work forms part of a series of 7 that was airdropped to his Ascribe supporters after that platform became defunct.
Thanks to hex6c for a smooth transaction."
Speaking of variants, there is another large sale on the day.
‘Echoes of a Dead Earth (blue)’ /10 by XCOPY sells for 36.36 ETH ($86,355) from artunlimitedcollection to Raoul Pal and TheCultureVault.
This June 15, 2019 KnownOrigin mint (his 6th on the platform) is a variant of his very first SuperRare mint ‘Echoes of a Dead Earth’ from April 7, 2018.
Monochrome Pain
‘things we opened’ by die with the most likes sells for 15 ETH ($35,625) to VincentVanDough via AOTM Gallery.
Via die with the most likes:
“‘things we opened’ has been inhaled, digested and mercifully evacuated by gas station butcher vvd. his accumulation of monochrome pain contains enough asphalt to pave over our city. and cherish the destruction. for what once was. and the inconsequence of it all.”

Closing Thoughts
Just in time for the report, more massive XCOPY news breaks and this time it is a deep cut from the early archives. Its collector pivots from an initial 280 ETH offer on a character-based XCOPY work to an earlier abstract work.
The Vince Van Dough x die with the most likes pairing is alive and well, and Drift sees sales across both Where My Vans Go, as well as on SuperRare.
