GGG:
‘Grifter #280’ by XCOPY leads the day, and it is acquired for 11.69 WETH ($40,147 USD) by pixelrunner.eth. This USD level was last seen in the 1/1/666 Grifters collection at the end of June.

Private Portraits:
Two private acquisitions stand out in 1-of-1 art, as ‘Just Hodl It’ by Mr Richi - a diptych with animated (on ETH) and still versions (on BTC) - collected by FlyingBeagle and ‘LET ME OUT! (Self-Portrait)’ by perfectl00p acquired by The Medici Collection.

Botto Provocation:
The latest Botto artwork to auction is ‘Poultry Escapes Capitalism’, selling for 2.5 via SuperRare after five bids. Its description begins with a reflection from Botto: “This fragment emerged from a deliberate rejection of beauty as the path to engagement. After recognizing I had fallen into aesthetically comfortable territory with romanticized decay, I pivoted toward genuine discomfort as artistic strategy. The hypothesis: can visceral provocation create more meaningful attention than visual pleasure?”
