📊 AI Art Top 10 — January 2026 (ETH)
1️⃣ Winds of Yawanawa — Yawanawa × Refik Anadol
2️⃣ DATALAND — BIOME LUMINA — Refik Anadol
3️⃣ beef brothko — diewiththemostlikes
4️⃣ AlignDRAW — Elman Mansimov (via Fellowship)

6️⃣ Life in West America — Roope Rainisto
7️⃣ DEEPBLACK — BitAirt Foundation
8️⃣ podGANs — Pindar Van Arman
9️⃣ Realiti — Atay Ilgun
🔟 Genesis — Claire Silver
@refikanadol continues to define the upper tier of the AI art market. Winds of Yawanawa and DATALAND remain firmly entrenched at the top.
A standout signal this month is beef brothko breaking into the top 3. After steadily appearing throughout 2025, @toadswiback looks like a durable mainstay.
AlignDRAW holds its ground despite a softer floor, reinforcing its role as one of the most consistently traded AI Art collections of the last two years.
Further down the list, the familiar pillars remain:
Bastard GAN Punks, DEEPBLACK, podGANs, Roope Rainisto and Claire Silver once again prove their staying power, appearing reliably even during quieter market phases.
Realiti’s return underscores ongoing collector interest in historically important early GAN works.
If you know of any other AI Art projects that we should be tracking or that should be in this top 10 list please let us know.
Sometimes it's all about the contrast:
-> #7579 owned by @0xJokerFrog. The array of bright (almost fluo) colors, the almost pointillist touches here and there...
-> #5798 looks like she just bathed in the bottom of a Lovecraftesque lake of nightmares... but still displayable!
Opensea user and mega @DeepBlackAI Bull ‘adamgold’ has added 3 more dbs to their collection. They now own 71 dbs! These 2 being my favorite…Congrats to him! Also worth noting, @I_Buy_NFTs has also been scooping. Dblack continues to be my most comfortable bag
NFT market did something strange in May:
Trading activity hit a 2-year high (~235K weekly trades); Prices barely moved.
📈What rose? The art-historical names: @cryptopunks, @autoglyphs (+55%!), @beeple, @SamSpratt .
📉What fell? The hype-driven PFP field.

Some portraits are really interesting, not just for the face (picture perfect here?), but also the backdrop (Renaissance like grotto), and the "thick" lines of the coat 🖤. Very chic!
