Beeple's 5,000-Day Digital Art Collection Sells for $60.25 Million
Popular digital artist Beeple's 5,000-day collection has sold for $60.25 million, making it one of the highest art auction sales ever. From a report: Christie's website shows that the auction concluded with a $9 million premium, which is a percentage of the final (or "hammer") price. The sale, hosted by British auction house Christie's, received a total of 353 bids. The collection of 5,000 pieces titled Everydays: The First 5000 Days, has been called "one of the most unique bodies of work to emerge in the history of digital art." To create the collection, Beeple produced a new work of art every single day for 14 years, starting in May 2007.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
