Founder and financer of NFT fund Metapurse Metakovan bought popular digital artist Beeple’s 5,000-day collection for nearly $70 million dollars, British auction house Christie’s announced Friday.
The collection, which sold for a whopping $69.3 million, is one of the highest art auction sales ever and makes Beeple one of the top three most valuable living artists.
The sale, hosted by British auction house Christie’s, received a total of 353 bids. According to the auction house, 22 million people tuned in for the sale, which ended yesterday.
“When you think of high-valued NFTs, this one is going to be pretty hard to beat. And here’s why – it represents 13 years of everyday work. Techniques are replicable and skill is surpassable, but the only thing you can’t hack digitally is time,” Metakovan said in the announcement. “This is the crown jewel, the most valuable piece of art for this generation. It is worth $1 billion.”
