He hasn’t missed a day since, creating a new digital picture every day for 5,000 days straight. Individually known as EVERYDAYS, collectively, the pieces form the core of EVERYDAYS: THE FIRST 5000 DAYS, one of the most unique bodies of work to emerge in the history of digital art. This monumental collage was the first purely digital artwork (NFT) ever offered at Christie’s. Christie’s is the first major auction house to offer a purely digital work with a unique NFT.
