Sotheby’s, an avant-garde force in the art realm, is boldly venturing into the intersection of Bitcoin and generative art with its remarkable Bitcoin Ordinals auction running until January 22.
According to the ever-so-famous auction house, “Bitcoin is the oldest, most decentralized, most secure, and highest value blockchain.” Through this cutting-edge network, Sotheby’s diverse artists harness Bitcoin’s transaction data to craft one-of-a-kind generative art, breathing fresh life and significance into digital art.
At the heart of this intriguing exhibition are visionary artists — Nullish, Rudxane, FAR, Asprey Studio, and Jennifer and Kevin McCoy — collectively reshaping the boundaries of artistic expression on-chain.
