This work has a history of 255 years and was auctioned at the auction house ' Christie's ', which also handled Leonardo da Vinci 's illusory work ' Salvator Mundi'. The winning bidder acquires ownership of the work and can freely use and resell it.




Mr. beeple is surprised at the high price of his work.




In the past, beeple has sold two other works for about $ 3.5 million (about 380 million yen) and about $ 67,000 (about 7.3 million yen). Also, digital artist Grimes is paying attention to the value of NFTs, such as selling a 10-second movie for about $ 390,000 (about 42 million yen). However, it has been pointed out that works of questionable artistic value are being sold as hype.
