Two Lost Robbies and one Skull of Luci enter a Vault…

Collector Punk4940 moves three infamous artworks to liquidity marketplace Gondi:

Together they generate a massive $750,000 USDC loan at 16% APR over a 1 year term.

Here’s a fun fact: all three of these artworks were originally… FREE!

The ‘AI Generated Nude Portraits’ are part of artist Robbie Barrat’s “Lost Robbies” collection, originally distributed at Christie’s first Art+Tech Summit in 2018, while ‘Skulls of Luci’ by Sam Spratt were claimable gifts to collectors who bid on his first three artworks in 2021 via SuperRare.

Fittingly from the man who coined the term “Lost Robbies”, 0xZack sums it up: “One of the coolest vaults to ever be vaulted.”

Dark Times:
Beeple posts Everyday ‘DARK DAY’. Sometimes art speaks far louder than words.

Love Prevails:
Artist and Photographer Killian Moore releases timely free open mint ‘Tribute In Light’ with Transient Labs. The artwork contains a poignant description, reading in part: “Love prevails. It always will.” The mint is open until Friday at midnight.

[L] ‘Rooms #0’ by Rafaël Rozendaal: Privately Acquired
As Sasha Stiles debuts at MoMA (covered yesterday), a release associated with the Museum’s previous Exhibition is in progress. ‘Rooms #0’ by Rafaël Rozendaal is acquired by showsupnaked.eth and is 1/1/44 artworks live with Fellowship.

[M] 'Chromie Squiggle #7740' by Snowfro: 40 ETH ($174,004 USD)
One of 128 HyperRainbow Spectrums in the 1/1/10,000 ‘Chromie Squiggle’ collection, it sells to 6969capital. This is the 7th Squiggle acquired by the recently created wallet. After acquiring all 6 Types of Squiggles, will it now pursue all Spectrums? That is a much more difficult endeavor.

[R] ‘Tempted in the Garden’ by Alpha Centauri Kid: 7.33 ETH ($31,886 USD)
This edition of 30 was originally released as a digital and physical combination in October 2024 with Avant Arte. Although the two now exist separately, it sounds like both mediums may be headed to collector NFTLaurent as he comments “soon on my walls”.
