Moving Poetry
‘Mammal’ by Ana María Caballero sells for $10,000 USD via Gazelli Art House with the help of 100 collectors.
Sale of the 1/1 video artwork and physical print comes one week after ‘Waiting Room’ was acquired by TokenAngels.
Via Artwork Description:
“Mammal is the title poem from Ana María Caballero’s book Mammal, which won the 2022 US National Steel Toe Books Poetry Prize and was a semifinalist for the 2023 Vassar Miller Poetry Prize. This performative work honours her spoken-word history and poetry’s tradition of orality. In this multifaceted rendition of self, she speaks her poem via movement, exploring how body language ties into spoken language.”

Closing Thoughts
Ana María Caballero is in the midst of a powerful stretch, featuring 1/1s, collections, live shows, and press. Impressive to witness.
One of my favorite deep cut stories from yesterday is ArtBlocksInvestor writing about a Flock Composition Memories of Qilin artwork that had just sold, then ultimately deciding to collect it at a higher list. Escalating conviction!
A lot to look at across LIVE and INCOMING, which will ultimately define the week. Urs Fischer, AOTM, and the next installment of the Starry Night Collection with Sotheby’s are top of mind.
