Empire Complete

‍

'Empire' by Sheldrick completes its 1/1/500 sellout with Fellowship, seeing 38.73 ETH in total volume.

Via Sheldrick:
"Thank you to everyone in the post-photographic space who bid, bought, shared & DM'ed support for Empire...

It was a monumental amount of work to do this project, at times having extreme anxiety at the sheer scale of work I knew I had to get done.

But its now over, the project has been finished, it now is in the collections of people from all over the world."

RD Report

The week concludes with a bang.

Outside of the big Botto Genesis Period sale, it has been the primary art market taking the lead with the secondary asleep. Let's see if that picks up as we get into February.

Have an inspired weekend!

‍

Monday 12:00pm ET:
The DAM Show, livestreamed to X. Coldie is announced as the 12:30pm ET guest. It'll be a good one!

‍‍

Today Reported:
Sales thresholds of (USD) $10k+ Collection, $1k+ 1/1, $2.5k+ 1/1/X, and $1k+ Edition artworks

Under threshold but interesting to me is a surge for 'Pepe's Multidimensional Leap' by Botto. The /250 edition released via VVD's 'Notable Pepe's sees 10 sales for 2.16 ETH.
