Despite the extraordinary opposition of artists, the synthetic intelligence (AI) art auction of Christie auctions, which was enforced, was found to have earned greater than expected. Recently, following Sotheby’s success, it is claimed that the production AI work could possibly be a brand new trend for art auctions.
Christie held on the sixth (local time) homepage from twentieth to fifth of last month. ‘Augmented Intelligence’ Online auctions have been earned greater than $ 728,000.
The exhibition was held on the Recent York Christie Rockefeller Center Gallery for this auction.
But when the news became known, 6,500 artists demanded cancellation of the event through the general public letter. It’s because these events that support the works of existing artists and the AI ​​models and users that used to learn without permission to steal the works of human artists.
Nonetheless, Christie said, “All of the artists who participated on this auction were powerful and used quite a lot of techniques before, and a few are recognized within the essential museum collection. The AI ​​on this auction was used to strengthen the work.”
The repulses of artists are also introduced in various media and have resulted in promoting the event.
The event included 34 from the Sixties to the recent work, and 28 of them were sold. Sales revenue was $ 72,8784, exceeding the minimum estimates of $ 600,000.
Recently, the work of the world -renowned media artist Leppic Anadol from Turkiye, who opened the exhibition in Korea, recorded the best amount. The ISS Dreams is a 16 -minute AI creation video of 1.2 million images taken on the earth’s satellite image and international space station. It was sold for $ 27,200 (about 4,880,000 won), which exceeds $ 150,000 to $ 200,000.
The work of the founder Matt Draherst of the AI ​​Startup Sponing AI was also sold at high prices. It was a cartoon that created a piece in Holly Herdon’s space suit as a cartoon and recorded $ 94,500.
As well as, Charles Mystery’s 1966 B-Spline Men, often known as Digital Art and the Father of Computer Animation, was sold for $ 5400 (about 707 million won). This work is a mathematical function that uses B-Spline, a person of ink with a bearded man on paper.
“This project is to focus on the superb artists who broaden the boundaries between technology and art,” said Christie. “Because of this, the art lovers and communities are actually aware of their influence and importance within the art world.”
Earlier in November last 12 months, Alan Turing’s portrait of Alan Turing by AI robot AI-DA was sold for $ 108,800. “The historic auction has opened a brand new state in the worldwide art market and established the auction standard for humanoid robots.”
As such, two of the world’s best auction corporations can be energetic as an AI art work, which can be greater than expected. Particularly, it’s analyzed that it could actually attract latest layers that were unfamiliar to existing art.
In line with a report released by insurance company Hiscox at the top of last 12 months, latest buyers are more likely to simply accept AI art than existing collectors. Christie said that 37%of the bidders were the primary to take part in the auction, and 48%were MZ generation.
He also identified that it was different from the NFT art market, which was popular just a few years ago, but now collapsed. “Auction sales of AI and production art have been a brand new peak since 2023.”
