SHANTI ESCALANTE-DE MATTEI FOR ARTNEWS

The work is part of a series known as “CryptoPunks,” considered one of the first NFT projects ever launched.

The culprit sold fakes of works by Richard Hambleton and Barkley Hendricks.

Typhoon Lupit dislodged the work from its base on the edge of Japan’s Naoshima Island, tossing it out to sea.

Urs Fisher, Qualeasha Wood and the Korean boy band BTS have reinterpreted the eponymous brand’s most famous product.

Angela Gulbenkian accepted payment for the work, though she had already sold it to another buyer for $1.3 million.

A new NFT platform launched with the piece on July 22. Bidding will continue until July 30.

According to one report, sales for the blockchain assets spiked 111.46 percent in comparison to Q1.

The painting, known as ‘The Night Watch,’ has been restored 26 times over the centuries.

Well before Beeple’s $6.6 million sale at Christie’s, these collectors were won over by the digital artist’s work.
