Digital Art & NFTs

On 11 March 2021, Christie’s made history with the pioneering sale of Beeple’s Everydays: The First 5000 Days for $69 million. As the first major auction house to introduce non-fungible tokens (NFTs) onto the global auction stage, we proudly ushered in a wave of enthusiastic interest from collectors and artists alike. Since that landmark sale, Christie’s has celebrated several record-breaking prices and NFT firsts. We were the first auction house to host an NFT sale in Asia, accept cryptocurrency, and take live bidding in Ethereum.

Christie’s is committed to working with both emerging and more established digital artists and creators to promote their work and tell their inspiring stories to our far-reaching global audience. From projects with Cryptopunks, Bored Ape Yacht Club, and World of Women to Fewocious, Refik Anadol, and the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies, Christie’s presents the best of the best digital art at a variety of price points. Additionally, we offer a curated selection of NFTs in other categories such as Design, Luxury, Music, Science and Technology.

The Digital Art and NFT market is growing in size and acceptance. With Christie’s proven track record of leading the art market in technological innovation with projects such as Christie’s Art+Tech Summits and Christie’s Ventures, we launched Christies 3.0 in September 2022. Christie's 3.0 is a fully on-chain auction platform dedicated to exceptional NFT-based art. Whether you are new to NFTs or already a committed member of the community, we invite you to discover and bid on exclusive drops, curated by Christie's experts.
As the most trusted name within the global art market with unparalleled reach, Christie’s is guided by our commitment to quality and authenticity in an increasingly digital world. With the advent of the digital collectible space and digital sales becoming more important to our audience, Christie’s seeks to responsibly steward the art and luxury community with a view towards the development of a sustainable NFT-based artwork environment.
