Raoul Pal reveals a new acquisition for The Culture Vault, 1/1 artwork ‘chalk it up to the hole in the yard’ by die with the most likes.

He shares context: “Die kindly agreed to a commission with the brief of ‘push yourself to do something you want to do that is different.’”

Via die with the most likes:
“this piece is a special one. the prose in this case dictated much of how the piece was conceptualized, constructed and animated. how the all consuming hole came to be. how everything in life can be chalked up to a hole in the yard.”

Pal writes at length about die, calling him “one of the greatest artists in any format cataloguing the death of the American Dream”.

Speaking of die with the most likes, the artist unleashes ‘big! dumb! bean! claim!’ on Sotharby’s with Transient Labs. The claim - what he calls “an absurdist thank you letter” - is open for ‘nameless dread’, ‘beef brothko’, and ‘gristle buddeez’ holders and concludes Friday at 11:00am ET.
