‘Portal’ by Jeff Davis leads the day with a 20.8 WETH sale to maxand98_1. The Art Blocks Playground collection of only 10 artworks was originally minted in June 2021.

Collector Maxand98 shares a thoughtful thread on the artwork’s meaning, including it being the scarcest Art Blocks collection and it being the first series for Bright Moments as well.

‘EYE-ROLLA’ by XCOPY sells for 17.42 ETH to an anonymous collector. The edition of 25 was originally released in August, 2020 via KnownOrigin.

‘servants of the Muse’ by Alpha Centauri Kid sells for 10 ETH to GrailArt via Gondi. It is an all time high for the edition of 69 that has now crossed 200 ETH in total secondary volume since end of 2021 release.

Let’s have a weekly look at items of art interest across the Tezos ecosystem:

The high sale is ‘n.X: Firefly’ by Iskra Velitchkova for 2,800 XTZ ($1,590 USD) to DagieDee from BITVARGEN. The 1-of-1 artwork was originally minted June 10, 2021 and transferred to the original collector on July 2, 2021.

‘The Processing of Time - Apparently For All Eternity’ by objektpermanenz sells out a 125 artwork collection on dropdotart for 5.55 XTZ each. The collection approaches GIFs as “produced through repetition rather than progression, beginning to behave more like matter than duration”.

‘Empty Window’ by Kim Asendorf is acquired for 2,000 XTZ ($1,103 USD) directly from the artist himself by collector BITVARGEN. The 1-of-1 artwork with a caption of “Screenshot of an empty window in 320×240px @2x, Big Sur, 2021” was minted and held since September 7, 2021.

Earlier this week ‘Lightning’ by A. L. Crego was acquired for 1,000 XTZ ($515 USD) by SOABE. The artwork depicts an animation projected during the Desordes Creativas Street Art festival, organized and curated by Mutante Creativo.
