'Masks of Luci' by Sam Spratt see 7 sales for 57.82 ETH in total.
The highlight is Finalist Seer Mask 'Amniotica' selling for a collection all-time high of 12.99 ETH | $59,779 USD to Waukena from BagHoldingNFTs.
This surge for the 1/1/613 collection, originally released with Nifty Gateway in February, runs in parallel to a rise in 'Grifters' by XCOPY. "Art PFPs" are having their moment, and they are the talk of socials.

Crypto might be on holiday. Art refuses to take one.
Memetics supercharge the space for better and worse. With Grifters and Masks both falling in the 600-700 artwork range, I wonder if this becomes the new 10k. There is merit, but not magic, to the specificity. It all depends on your intent.
Two releases have double take energy in my world, and you'll find them on Fellowship (Dounia) and Feral File (Mack's curation). I'll likely review both tomorrow.
