Yue Minjun launches Ordinals series on LiveArt
Crypto art platform LiveArt has launched the first Ordinals series work "Human" by contemporary art giant Yue Minjun.
This groundbreaking Bitcoin-based collection includes 1,200 unique digital works that document some of the key moments of our digital age. With sales of physical and digital artworks exceeding $150 million, Yue Minjun’s iconic smile is brighter than ever.
"The Bitcoin blockchain has the best consensus and permanence in the crypto world. We introduced Yue Minjun to Bitcoin Ordinals because a blue chip artist in the art world deserves to be shown on a blue chip blockchain in the crypto world," said Boris Pevzner, CEO and co-founder of LiveArt. Relying on this narrative, Human sold for millions of dollars at auction, and Gweong-Gweong broke the record at Christie's Hong Kong with a price of $6.9 million.
Yue Minjun shared his vision, “When I first got involved in NFT with my work Boundless, I became more fascinated by the potential of Web3 technology. The dynamic evolution of Bitcoin and the broader prospects of decentralized finance inspired me to interpret world history from a digital perspective. Human embodies this vision, integrating my art with some important contemporary narratives.”
Human will be released exclusively on LiveArt on May 8, 2024, and its launch will represent an inflection point for Bitcoin on-chain art. At the same time, it will collaborate with top Ordinals NFT communities such as Ordinals Council, Sparks, Xverse, Pizza Ninjas, and Ink.
“Yue Minjun’s Ordinals series Human is a major milestone for the Bitcoin blockchain. As the first well-known contemporary artist to publish a work on Bitcoin Ordinals, Yue Minjun will be forever remembered as a pioneer in Bitcoin history. Ordinals Council is proud to support this groundbreaking project, which paves the way for the future development of art on the Bitcoin chain.” said Serge Ajamian, founder of Ordinals Council.
The collectibles are expected to sell out quickly at exclusive “whitelist” events with LiveArt partners and members. Get ready to see the world of art and Bitcoin change.
