NEW YORK, 14 April 2021 – Earlier today, 'The Fungible' Collection, Sotheby’s debut NFT sale in collaboration with world-renowned digital artist Pak, concluded with $16,825,999 achieved across the three-day drop on Nifty Gateway. 

There were 3,080 unique buyers of the Open Edition cube units, which achieved $14,026,000 over the course of the three days of sales. On the opening day, the sale set a new single-day record for open editions on Nifty Gateway, selling 19,737 cube units and achieving $9.9 million during the 15 minute sale window. 

The two one-of-one digital artworks, 'The Switch' and 'The Pixel' achieved $1.44 million and $1.36 million, with 10 and 12 bidders, respectively, with the latter concluding after a 90 minute bidding battle.

Max Moore, Co-Head of Sotheby's Contemporary Art Day Sales in New York commented: “Today’s results from Sotheby’s inaugural NFT sale are truly a testament to the depth and spirit of the digital art and NFT community. The incredible prices achieved for ‘The Switch’ and ‘The Pixel,’ as well as the total amount for the Open Editions, are remarkable in their own right, but for me the true measure of success for this sale was the overall engagement and number of participants we could bring to the sale. I’m thrilled that we were able to reach such a wide audience across the digital and crypto communities, in addition to the traditional, physical art world, and I view it as not only a reflection of the growing adoption of this emergent art form, but of the genius of Pak.

Ashley Ramos, Senior Producer at Nifty Gateway said: "We are very pleased with the results of this drop with Sotheby's and Pak - the auction alone of 'The Switch' sold for more than $1.4 million and 'The Pixel' sparked a bidding war. This collaboration has generated so much excitement and we look forward to continuing to make digital art accessible to both the Sotheby’s and NFT communities."
