Midwestern Milestone
“It’ll take me longer to process all of this than it did to create the collection itself…” begins artist die with the most likes.
His ‘dying is not enough’ collection concludes 75 concurrent artwork auctions for 403.53 ETH total. Together with last week’s announced placement of the collection’s namesake artwork to Blondie and Raoul Pal, the final 76 artwork collection totals 453.53 ETH ($855,339 USD).
Released with glitch Gallery and supported by Transient Labs, the auctions attracted 1,459 bids across 240 unique bidders, via Transient CEO Marco Peyfuss.
High sales are ‘swings and chains and the things they spun until they were indiscernible in the july sun’ (pictured: top left) for 30 ETH and ‘the impossibility of scattering the sun’ (pictured: top right) for 15 ETH to punk4940.
After acknowledging his partners, collectors, and enjoyers, the artist concludes:
“I created things for so long in a vacuum of unbridled isolation, it’s a really special thing to have found people who enjoy the things I make. and make things of their own. or collaborate through shared stories of midwestern depravity or happy nostalgia.
thank you.
die”
