Art Blocks Announces Return
Art Blocks Curated announces an October return with ‘Bokeh’ by mpkoz.
Their new direction is at the intersection of generative art and physical objects, “demonstrating that traditional methods of art and design are not at odds with technical innovation”.
The October rollout debuts credit card inclusion, as well as their first ascending auction mechanic. It begins with 20 physical lamps, continues with 300 generative artworks, and concludes with claims and orders for physical wall sculptures.
Via mpkoz:
“This project got real for me today. I have been grinding hard for the last few months and to finally talk about it and hear the reception has been so incredible.
Thank you Art Blocks for this opportunity. I’m so excited to see what artists can do with this expanded platform.”

Closing Thoughts
The Fall Season gets spicier with the official return of Art Blocks alongside mpkoz, who is picking up considerable momentum (recall his recent kinetic sculpture release, collected by Kanbas).
We’ve been here before, but a big list/offer gap in ‘Fidenza’ is one to watch. With a 27.5 WETH offer accepted yesterday, lowest list is now 29.35 ETH and high offer 6.01 WETH. After a few sales in the 20s, we saw recent stabilization around 30 ETH. With ETH having appreciated this week (in USD terms), it’s possible the collection legs down to compensate. If you put me on the spot, 25 ETH feels like a reasonable destination.
