VIa Leyla (Verse):
"It’s a bold statement that we’re moving away from the pretension and over-the-top sophistication that often is associated with the culture of traditional art. This is about something bigger: a future of art that values authenticity and whimsy...
it's Krybharat who has cemented it in history, tagging it with real value and officially ushering it into the art canon."
The remaining 10 live auctions conclude today at 1:00pm ET.
'Sunrise City Blues' by Grant Yun sells for 10 ETH to droidburner.eth in a deal brokered by Oliver Morris.
The February, 2021 SuperRare mint was Yun's ninth overall.
Via Grant Yun:
"Illustrated in 2017, this work was the recipient of the Wally Douma Scholarship at the University of Wisconsin. It was the first ever illustration I had done in Adobe Illustrator, up until then I had strictly used Powerpoint...
To receive the award I had beaten all the design and art majors who were at the University. I was one of but a few STEM majors to even apply...
but it made me realize the work I was doing was something special and motivated me to push even harder to achieve the things I dreamed of."

'The Cost of Permission' by Diane Lindo with The Memes by 6529: up to 329 editions available at 0.06529 ETH each
Initially I thought Botto's auction block was at risk of AI fatigue in this multi-week stretch of major highlights. It turns out that those concerns were unfounded, and by any metric these first 10 auctions are a wild success.
"The Giraffe" is a lightning rod, to some a collection standout and to others a sore thumb, to some a sign of art revolution and to others one of stupidity. TLDR - it's perfect.
While crypto charts bring tears, the art market sees an overall strong day with a number of cross-category highlights. This is the 4th Grant Yun 1/1 secondary sale in a calendar month - wow!
