RD Report

Welcome to the hunt for differentiated XCOPY (and Alpha Centauri Kid, for that matter). It is one of my favorite phases, as collectors go beyond lowest lists and pursue irreplaceable artworks.

I spent some time in NYC yesterday with art and interesting conversations. The SuperRare Offline Gallery launched its second exhibition to a strong crowd (more coming on that front), and I spent time at Nguyen Wahed's "secret mancave" getting to know Mitchell F. Chan's newest collection.

Something different is in the air, my friends. Crypto is surging and so is the sentiment around art.

Big thanks to Raoul Pal for shouting out 24 Hours of Art. Fuel for our fire. Onward together.

We are doing live "understanding" segments in the 24 Hours of Art Telegram today: 12:00pm ET is about m0dest and 12:30pm ET are Masks of Luci by Sam Spratt. Both came about via community feedback, our favorite.

The Last ART Pixel.

The 127th design of 2025 must be watched in full. It's a fun take on what actually happens when/if the 'Last Selfie' is taken.
