24 HOURS OF ART: Tuesday Highlights
Digital Art Headlines, Market Highlights, and Analysis from 9/23 - 9/24
Fellowship Flowers
Linda Dounia Rebeiz, Fellowship and ARTXCODE announce an early sellout of ‘Once Upon A Garden: The Complete Series’, prior to its scheduled public release.
The 250 artworks are a “speculative archive of critically endangered and extinct flora that we have little to no records of, and therefore no way to remember”. In total they see 50k USDC in sales across 30 collectors including AkaStevey, Delronde, Le Random, Jediwolf, KDean, Redbeard, Wapshop, and more.
Dounia says she “never could have never dreamed of a better way to bring this retrospective to life” and pens a love letter thanking contributors across Fellowship and ARTXCODE, including the Garden’s “first champion” Micol.
Via Alejandro Cartagena:
“With the launch of Linda's project, we see how collectors find confidence in supporting projects with deep research, experimentation and development. Great art usually takes time to marinate and this project is a perfect example of this.”

Closing Thoughts
Primary collections and private deals highlight the day, with not only the main headline but Verse x Artie Galerie continuing to do solid work.
Three private deal types pop up across Sotheby’s (auction house), Fountain (broker), and trade (direct between collectors). Art moves in diverse ways these days. Stay agile out there. The only constant is change.
