About the artwork:

The CryptoPunks are 24x24 pixel art images, generated algorithmically. Most are punky-looking guys and girls, but there are a few rarer types mixed in: Apes, Zombies and even the odd Alien. Every punk has their own profile page that shows their attributes as well as their ownership/for-sale status.

John Watkinson, of Larva Labs, has written code that lives on the blockchain that anyone can use to buy and sell Punks with anyone else in the world. An interesting aspect of this system is that they no longer have any control over the code running CryptoPunks! Once it was released onto the blockchain it became permanently embedded there and can no longer be modified by anyone.

For the exhibition Larva Labs created a high-quality signed print of a Cryptopunk. Then he transferred the blockchain ownership of the Cryptopunk to a new Ethereum address and included the private key to that address in a tamper-proof envelope. This way, the buyer gets to acquire the art both physically and digitally.

Provenance:

Both were exhibited for the very first time by Kate Vass Galerie in November 2018 at the historical Blockchain art group show ‘Perfect & Priceless’. Once again, Cryptopunk was exhibited at Cadaf in May 2019 in New York, sold to one of the top collectors and stay in the private ownership since. Now available for sale from its original gallery Kate Vass Galerie, the ownership is confirmed. Shipping costs are beared by the Buyer. We have 2 Punks and both are in great condition. The print and the COA are with their original frames.
