NFT artist Mike Winkelmann (Beeple) was acquired for almost $29 million at Christie’s auction. The work is called HUMAN ONE.
This sculpture is 2 m high. The column is made of mahogany and covered with LED displays. The screens show a man in a silver spacesuit. The sculpture is created in such a way that viewers can see how a person moves through different landscapes.
A huge congratulations to .@Beeple whose “Human One” artwork sold at the Christie’s 21st Century Evening Sale for $28.9M USD.

The work, presented in the NFT format, was planned to sell $ 15 million, but in the end the final bid was $ 28.985 million.
Note that in March 2021, a work called The First 5000 Days was sold at auction. They gave $ 60.3 million for it, but taking into account the commission to the buyer, the Beeple work cost $ 69.3 million.
