24 Hours of Art: May 8, 2025

The People's Choice

February 11, 2019:
"Very happy to be able to grab a copy of XCOPY's 'Last Selfie' at KnownOrigin for a discounted price [0.1 ETH]. Hurry up, only 3 more available!" - Tweet from Shortcut

May 7, 2025:
'Last Selfie' by XCOPY sells for 1,150,000 USDC to Benji's Pella Collection from bigint.

The deal is brokered by Eli Scheinman and leverages Gondi.

Via Benji:
"Last Selfie needs no introduction. It is undoubtedly the people’s choice of digital art and is one of the key grails of all time.

For me personally, it’s a work that resonates deeply in both its beauty and its powerful cultural imagery, and I plan to vault it away for a very very long time."

The iconic edition of 10 originally began minting in January 2019 via KnownOrigin, and this particular #7 edition has moved from Shortcut (0.1 ETH, Feb 2019) to Mattia Cuttini (1 ETH, Dec 2019) to Moderats (5 ETH, Dec 2019) to bigint (100 WETH | $397,195 USD), Oct 2021).

An edition of 'Last Selfie' last changed hands in November 2024 to The Culture Vault of Raoul Pal, for what he later approximated at $1,000,000 USD in a live interview.


"New Punk, who dis?"

'CryptoPunk #6965' by Larva Labs is acquired by Ryan Zurrer and 1OF1.

While the price is undisclosed, Punks OTC (an educated barometer) guesses $2.1M USD.

It is 1 of 24 Ape Punks and 1 of 186 Fedoras in the 1/1/10k collection.

Via Ryan Zurrer:
"Welcome to the collection Punk 6965, we'll call you 'Jungle Punk'. We have a lot planned for you...

In the future, it will be as vital for contemporary art institutions to have Crypto Punks in their collections as it is to have Warhols today. I often compare Crypto Punks to Warhol's silkscreens, which began as portraiture of the bourgeoisie 'in the know' connected to the artist at the time. The works evolved into an iconic series that is central to art canon of the period."
