Beeple Will Update a New $29M Piece ‘For the Rest of My Life’
WiredUntil about a year ago, artist Mike Winkleman hadn’t sold a print for more than 100 bucks. In March of this year he sold a piece containing the works from his first 5,000 days as an NFT through Christie’s, making it the first pure NFT the auction house had ever sold, and, thanks to that $69 million price tag, the most valuable one to date. Winkleman calls it “the first portrait of a human born in the metaverse.” Like Everydays: The First 5,000 Days, the sale garnered a lot of attention. “While the piece was sold last night, the piece is not complete,” Wilkenman told WIRED deputy global editorial director Greg Williams on Wednesday at the RE:WIRED conference. Art connoisseurs may not even know what they’re buying at first, something Winkleman likens to “a subscription to art,” like using Microsoft 360 or Adobe’s Creative Cloud.
