"Hitting the block" = "Keith Haring’s Never-Before-Seen Computer Drawings Are Hitting the Block as NFTs at a New Christie’s Online Auction"

I can't believe NFTs are still a thing, I thought the bubble rightfully burst months ago?

Don't underestimate the art market. A lot of money in it (still), high expectations, willing artists and owners, and valuations are dependent on the expertise of a rather closed circle of few who are in constant contact with collectors, artists, galleries and other insiders. If they see a chance of making NFTs profitable, they will realise it.

I guess you get more than the NFTs. Some paper trail, authentication, release of ownership, that kind of thing. And Christie's guarantee.
