Two notable artworks move through Gondi to the same anonymous collector, in deals facilitated by Eli Scheinman:

‘CryptoPunk #9707’ - 1 of 259 Hoodie Punks - is acquired for $300,000 USDC.

‘AI Generated Nude Portrait #7 Frame #166’ by Robbie Barrat - a “Lost Robbie” - was originally listed for $280,000 USDC. It ends up moving through a $1 USDC Trade, essentially an undisclosed price.

Also interesting on Gondi are multiple XCOPY artwork loans being refinanced. Two 1-of-1 artworks top the list, with ‘Dissolution’ receiving a $300,000 USDC loan at 13.75% APR (due: May 1st) and ‘Don’t Scroll’ receiving a $275,000 USDC loan at 15.29% APR (due: May 15th).

‘Meebit #18868’ - 1 of 18 Visitors in the 1/1/20,000 Larva Labs collection - is acquired for 38 ETH by spinotron from zoomc, in a deal facilitated by MeebCo CEO Sergito. Spinotron shares thoughts here, including a comparison to ancestor collection ‘CryptoPunks’, noting that Visitors and Aliens exist in the same ratio, but an Alien + Hoodie combination does not exist in the Punks collection.

New 1-of-1 artwork ‘in absence of a revolution’ by die with the most likes is acquired for 25 ETH by a private collector. In the artist’s words: “this piece was made as a deviation from creative expectation and maintaining the possibility that I won’t become a stale, diluted derivative of myself. spiral out. make things. horrifically back.”

‘Value Discovery’ by ripe launches ‘Liquid Editions’ with SuperRare. The new financial art primitive pairs ERC-20 tokens and generative art, leveraging the price spread between two liquidity pools to dictate its appearance. Over time, there are 12 “Spread NFTs” minted as 1-of-1 artworks. Each NFT goes to auction and is an output for a physical print series.

The ERC-20 token has seen $115k USD in volume, while the first NFT minted is live in auction with a 0.69 ETH bid.

Ethereum - ‘The Vessel’ by Stephen Santoro: 10,000 “Craft” collection, each with unique mint prices, storage limits, and container types, as well as in parallel, timed open editions

Odiville - ‘Whispers of Odiville’ by Odious: 6 1/1 artwork collection, 1 artwork in live auction countdown

Friday, March 6th:
‘The Signal’ by Graffiti On Grave with The Memes by 6529: Up to 328 editions available at 0.06529 ETH each, opens at 10:40am ET

The art market added spice these past 48 hours. Good to see. There’s a lot below the headlines, including a rarely seen Hackatao Async Art 1-of-1 layer, Carpoolers by Alejandro Cartagena, a rare ICXN and PUMP KING edition by XCOPY, two m0dest collections seeing strong secondary sales, and more.

I’ll be live in the 24 Hours of Art Telegram at 12:00pm ET to talk it all through, and Justin Wetch is back later with the latest installment of Weekly Dose of ART. Onward!
