ROTD
Auctioning Off Original Artwork AND the
Graffiti.art Domain Name Wednesday Night in Miami |
We've
all become familiar
with the live and online domain auctions that Monte
Cahn and his crew at RightOfTheDot.com,
including World Champion auctioneer Wayne
Wheat, are famous for. However, ROTD is
going to be blazing a new trail tomorrow night
(Wednesday, November 8) in Miami when, in
tandem with Wonderland
2023 and Kandyflip.Art,
they will be auctioning
off a dozen top tier original works of
graffiti art. In addition to those, ROTD
will be putting the coveted graffiti.art
domain name on the auction block. It will all be part of a special
event at the Versace Penthouse titled "An
Evening With The Souls of Gianni Versace,
Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring & our guest
of honor, Artist Robin Van Arsdol." As
with past ROTD sales, this auction will be conducted
both live and online,
however if you want to attend in person you will
need to purchase a Wonderland
2023 ticket in advance (link will give you
a 20% off discount). To participate in the online
auction that is open to all, you will just need to
register
here. |

The
artwork came directly out of the pulsating 1980s New
York City scene. This collection features works by Jean-Michel
Basquiat, Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf and
other street art legends. They are pieces that have
defined a generation and continue to influence the
art world today.
Regarding
the domain name, .ART
registry CMO Jeff Sass
noted, "The Graffiti.art domain name
offers an unparalleled digital platform
for artists, collectors, and galleries to
showcase or curate contemporary graffiti
works. In the rapidly evolving digital
landscape, Graffiti.art stands out as a
significant digital asset, offering Web3
compatibility for forward-thinking
artists and investors." While
we were in touch we Jeff he also filled in
on some other .ART happenings. "It has
been a busy few months for .ART with a trip
to London for the Frieze Art Fair
and the Award Ceremony for our Digital
Innovation in Art award. We met with
many well-known galleries who are using a
.ART domain including Hauser & Wirth (HauserWirth.art) and
Koopman Fine Art (Koopman.art).
You can see our
video recap here. We're
also very proud of this year's Digital
Innovation in Art Award winners, Artivive and
Well
of Art. Both of the winners were
present to receive their award at the Allstars
2023 Gala dinner hosted by GP
Bullhound." |
