CARTOGRAPHY OF MIND
NFTs sold for 1,6 millions at Christie's
A sale of NFTs by Beeple, Mad Dog Jones and other artists fetched $1.6 million at Christie's, slightly exceeding the auction house's expectations.
The online sale of 27 lots, titled "Cartography of the Mind", was a benefit auction for the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), a nonprofit that promotes mental health research with MDMA, LSD, psilocybin and other controlled substances.
Alternative investor Ryan Zurrer curated the event with his trippy offerings, all valued at less than $250,000, most of them in the five figures.
"We organized this sale as both a celebration of the digital art space and as a philanthropic endeavor, and given that we sold 100 percent of the works and exceeded the maximum estimate, I would classify it as a great success,"
said Nicole Sales, Christie's sales director for digital art, in an email to Artnet News.
All 27 lots in the event sold.
