4 years ago today, I purchased CryptoPunk #3831.
What was meant to be my first and final purchase of a major artwork, turned into the birth of The Medici Collection.
And for that, today I feel grateful.
In these 4 years, art has flipped my life upside down.
Opened my eyes to new possibilities, put me in the middle of a once-in-a-lifetime art renaissance, and allowed for friendship with artists, collectors and critics I never thought possible.
While it hasn’t always been obvious what comes next, today I feel we are all rowing in the same boat, in the same direction:
To cement our movement as the defining one of this lifetime.
If you’re here as an artist…
If you’re here as a collector…
If you’re here as a writer or critic… or gallerist or dealer…
I commend you for your contribution, no matter how big or little.
Each one of you matter, each one of you make the movement what it is.
Today, I feel more confident than ever in saying:
We are here to stay.
And together, we will add a new chapter to the art history books than will be studied by generations to come.
It’s a great pleasure to be along this ride w you 🍷⚔️
