Art Market Highlights
‘Twin Flames #16. Chelsy & Melissa Mitchell’ by Justin Aversano sells for 11 WETH to TheMysterioHardVault. Remarkably, this is the 5th ‘Twin Flames’ in the February 2021 minted 100 artwork collection to sell via secondary in just two weeks.
‘MYSTERIA MEMETICA’ by Ksenia Buridanova sells for 0.21 BTC to David Bailey via Bitcoin Museum & Art Gallery, after a 79 bid auction across 9 bidders. The 1/1 artwork is both Bitcoin Ordinal Inscription and physical oil painting.
“Scylla, the 12th and final edition of ‘Being Borges’, has found her way home,” says Ana Maria Caballero. The collage work and poetry chapter comes to an emphatic conclusion with a sale for $10,000 USD to wapshop.
‘Bag Boy Forever - Sculpture 01’ opens a new chapter for Daniel Koeth, as Scott Kominers acquires the artist’s first of five bronze sculpture and digital artwork pairings for 4.5 ETH. Koeth reflects: “Scott understood immediately, this sculpture memorializes the weight of wearing a mask, and moment it is shed. He saw what it represents, and his belief in this work carries deep meaning for me.”
