10/08/2021 Christie’s ‘No Time Like Present’ Auction Expected to Mark NFT Milestones

 

BeInCrypto –

Auction giant Christie’s hopes to set several milestones in crypto art history with its upcoming “No Time Like Present” auction.

The auction, scheduled to begin on September 17, will be based from Hong Kong, running for 11 days. This is special not least because, according to Christie’s themselves, the event will mark the first time an international auction house has ever made a non-fungible token (NFT) sale in Asia.

Furthermore, it will be the first time that some of the artworks have been offered outside of an NFT trading platform. Namely, Meebits, the latest creation to come out of Larva Labs. “No Time Like Present” will also be the auction house debut for Yuga Labs’ Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC).

Interesting NFTs
Fuku-Shiva
The term “Fuku” refers to fortune or good luck. “Shiva” refers to the Hindu deity who represents strongly polar qualities, both severe and delicate. On a beach inspired by adventures on Phi Phi island in Thailand, three youths cavort. Two are representational figures and the third is psychologically rendered. A dynamic relationship ensues between the triad; a reciprocity of active and passive states. The boy on the right engages in maneuvers of evasion, defense, and is dressed in a speedo which reiterates the colors and symbolism of the caution tape on the left and upper right frame of the composition. In concurrent reaction the psychedelic figure shoots out a rocket powered paper airplane. The nude boy seated in the froth and sand approaches in passive repose, and is met with active attention but equal physical reserve by the psychedelic being. Perhaps the most naked figure is also the least representational. Looming large, dynamic, and active, it engages its companions playfully. Various symbols interject into the otherwise naturalistic scene, most notably a beach ball and two contaminated barrels nested in the sand. The upright barrel reads “FukuShima” in Kanji. The barrel laying down reads “Dharma”. To the left the scene is bounded by caution tape, reiterating the danger of the nuclear waste while also hosting alien archetypes, whose presence, as is the nature of these entities, runs up and just behind the consciousness of the psychedelic figure’s eggshell-like skull.
