John Gerrard and Fellowship complete a milestone sale of $1,500,000 USD for a full triptych of the artist’s works, presented together for the first time at Art Basel Zero 10 in June:

‘WESTERN FLAG (SPINDLETOP, TEXAS), 2017’ depicts a flag of carboniferous smoke over the Lucas Gusher, site of the first major oil strike in 1901. The real-time simulation is an edition of 4 + 2 APs.

‘FLARE (OCEANIA), 2022’ depicts a flag of gas over a heating ocean, the South Pacific near Tonga. The real-time simulation is an edition of 5 + 3 APs.

‘STANDARD, 2023’ depicts a flag of water vapour over the Mojave Desert in Nevada, looking to a hopeful future. The real-time simulation is an edition of 4 + 2 APs.

Individual sale of ‘STANDARD, 2023’ was reported on June 17th, and the full triptych is now complete with the original collector. Fellowship co-founder Alejandro Cartagena comments that the ability to highlight all three works together at Zero 10 was an important factor.

Via Eli Scheinman, Zero 10 Curator:
“The outcome for John Gerrard and Fellowship demonstrates what is possible when digital practices are presented as they were always intended to be: as a critical part of the contemporary art world. These worlds have been artificially separated for too long, and results like this suggest that collectors are ready to move beyond that distinction.

A central goal of Zero 10 is to connect exhibitors and artists with new communities of collectors, curators, and institutions. Sometimes that results in a sale on the fair floor - just as often, it begins a relationship that deepens over the weeks and months that follow.”
