I think this was true a year ago too. They peaked in 2021, were dead in 2022.

For me the most impressive part is how high it peaked. This wasn’t just a flash in the pan, fleecing people for a $1000 here and there.

Beeple’s $69.3M price makes it third highest art sale by a living artist ever, for all art.

This category came out of nowhere from nothing to top 3 in the space of a couple of years. Then died just as quickly.

> The composite’s sale is not just a standout in the NFT world but in the broader art market, too. It is the third-most expensive work from a living artist ever sold at auction—behind only $90.3 million spent on a David Hockney painting in 2018 and the $91.1 million for Jeff Koons’ stainless-steel Rabbit sculpture in 2019.
