HUMAN_ONE

(created 2021)

On November 9, 2021, Human_One was sold at Christie's for $28,958,000 to collector Ryan Zurrer. The artwork is a 7-foot-high sculpture; a generative work of art, a dynamically changing hybrid sculpture, both physically and digitally. Beeple described the artwork as "the first portrait of a human born in the metaverse." It is the first major work made by the artist that has both a sculptural and NFT component. After the sale, Human One was exhibited at the Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art in April 2022. It was the artist's debut museum exhibition. Then, the work was shown at the M+ Museum, marking the work's Asian premiere and the artist's first solo show in Asia. It has made its way to Crystal Bridges in Bentonville, Arkansas, and is awaiting its next exhibition with a new update.
