24 Hours of Art: February 20, 2025

Poptarteds Take Solana

'Poptarteds' by Alice Gordon take off, seeing 465 sales for more than 1,200K SOL in 24 hours and rocketing to the top of the Solana charts.

The "bold, unapologetic, and outrageous" 1/1/2,222 collection was originally minted in February 2024.

Via Alice Gordon:
"Such an honor to achieve this as a solo artist, in a space dominated by teams"

RD Report


Today is a good day to celebrate Alice Gordon.

The conclusion of Sotheby's Digital Art Day Auction highlights the importance of story. Several of these pieces could have been featured far more. While the XCOPY Lot reserve was set aggressively (meaning I don't read into it not selling), I would have liked to see the Ivona Tau and Emily Xie works highlighted re: their places in each artist's journey.

The 1/1 category remains intriguing. A big Ryan Koopmans x Alice Wexell work trades, Summer Wagner sees a secondary sale, a new NiftyMonki sells on primary, and Botto and Shl0ms are live.

2025 Subscriber Corner

ART Fluidity.

The 49th ART of 2025 is a video (watch it in full here!) It leans into Botto's p5.js training, and here Justin Wetch adapts the original source code to create a custom ART. One of the most unique 2025 designs thus far.
