The Rise of Beeple and His NFT Art

Introduction

The digital art world has been a bit of a wild west for the past few years, with no real rules or standards. But all that is about to change. In 2020, Beeple (a popular artist who focuses on digital art) approached an investment consortium with an offer: They would buy his entire output up until that point – 2000 pieces in all – and turn it into a single large NFT called “Everydays”. The catch was that Beeple couldn’t sell any physical or digital copies anymore – all these rights would be owned by the investors and they could do whatever they wanted with it!

The sales of NFT artworks have exploded since February, with Christie’s auctioning off an NFT work for $69 million recently.

If you’re not familiar with NFTs, they are digital works of art that can be bought and sold on the blockchain. You can think of them as collectibles: same as baseball cards or Beanie Babies, they have a unique identifier and come with metadata that shows their provenance. Unlike traditional paintings or sculptures though, NFTs aren’t limited by physical space — meaning it doesn’t matter if there is only one copy ever made (like in an auction).

If you want to buy an NFT from the artist themselves then you’ll need to use the blockchain-based application OpenSea (which I mentioned earlier). But if instead you’re interested in collecting some cool pieces created by popular artists like Beeple or CryptoKitties’ @jennyfayekitty then consider going on a website called OpenArt which offers free access to thousands of pieces created by over 300 different artists.”

Beeple (real name Mike Winkelmann) is a popular artist who focuses on digital art, and has a huge following on social media.

Beeple has become very valuable in the NFT space because he is one of the largest creators of digital art.

Beeple has become one of the most valuable artists in the NFT space because he has created over 2000 digital art pieces. He is known for his signature style and ability to capture emotion in his work.

Beeple’s NFT art is also unique because he creates all of it himself, rather than commissioning others to create it for him. This means that you can own a piece that was made by Beeple himself, which makes it more rare and valuable than other types of NFTs out there on the market today.

In 2016, Beeple began selling his artwork as NFTs and accrued a small but dedicated following of fans who bought his works.

In 2016, Beeple began selling his artwork as NFTs and accrued a small but dedicated following of fans who bought his works. The artist created 2,000 pieces of digital art over the years and sold them as ERC-721 tokens on OpenSea’s marketplace for about $80 each. He was inspired to start creating this way after reading about CryptoKitties in 2017—the first large-scale application for non-fungible tokens that has since become a worldwide phenomenon.

Over time, Beeple’s work gained notoriety among the growing community of crypto enthusiasts and art collectors who have helped establish NFTs as an emerging form of digital art that can be traded through blockchain technology.

By 2020, Beeple had created 2000 pieces of digital art, which he was selling on his website as NFTs.

While it’s unclear how much money Beeple made from these sales, he was certainly making enough to keep him busy creating more NFTs.

In late 2020, a consortium of investors approached Beeple with a proposition to buy the entirety of his output up to that point and turn that into a single large NFT called “Everydays”. The investors were a consortium of artists, collectors and art dealers who had been following Beeple’s work since it first appeared on the blockchain in late 2018. They proposed creating an enormous sculpture made up of all of his works over the years, which they would then sell as one NFT.

They knew that this would be controversial — some people have argued that such pieces are more like digital art than physical objects — but they felt it was important to preserve what they saw as some essential parts of humanity: ephemerality and impermanence.

But there was a catch – Beeple couldn’t sell his art as physical or digital copies anymore – all these rights would be owned by the investors and they could do whatever they wanted with it.

They could license it to other artists, sell it on the secondary market or even destroy his work if they wanted. So there was no way for Beeple to profit from selling prints like he used to. But in return, he got a percentage of the NFT’s value.

Conclusion

The rise of Beeple and his NFT art is a big deal for the digital art industry. We’re excited to see where this goes in the future!
