Jean-Michel Basquiat multiples that don’t cost millions? During my research I was impressed by the number of posthumous works selling way high in price (north of seven figures). The Anatomy series, however, produced around 1982 are small editions, within 40 or less, on black Arches paper ranging in the $30k at several galleries and art marketplace platforms.

Interestingly, surrealism is driving contemporary art sales. Overall the market is down bad, as this interesting article by Mutual Art describes. In the pic below: Paul Delvaux, La ville endormie, 1938, oil on canvas. https://www.mutualart.com/Article/Turnover-Continues-Decline-at-London-Spr/F744ED05F5B5208F

A 1967 $300 Andy Warhol? Seems so, part of an unsigned collection lithographs which may or may nor represent the lowest entry price for the Master. Originally released as a 3D index book, some are still available. DYOR as always, of course. :)

Inspired by that $1200 edition of 250 Salvator Dalì, I would like to take on a new challenge... searching and sharing the cheapest works (multiples, of course) from our beloved Old Masters. Just as an exercise. Doing so I tried with Pablo Picasso. And I am already struggling with an interesting find: in 1970 he supervised the print of 666 editions which are now offered unsigned. A big risk but with prices starting at sub $2k. Le Gôut du Bonheur, lithograph 13'' x 10'.

I am thinking of taking a break from Rodeo. So far, I've enjoyed collecting with Rodeo: it's affordable, fun, and rewarding. I'm glad I could collect full sets from my favorite artists and discover new ones. However, it requires some time, like every social app, and the costs can quickly escalate. While each post is only 30 cents, collecting full sets from multiple artists can become expensive. Despite this, the protocol is simply amazing; I think it has a bright future ahead!

Hey folks, I'm humbled and honored to collaborate with William J. Kolomyjec (aka Dr. Bill). Tomorrow, Thursday Feb 6th, he's launching his very first Bitcoin Ordinals 72-hour open edition. For about 10 bucks, plus fees, you can collect a piece of his legacy on the main chain. This is "Plasma Pong," an animated piece that personally reminds me of his early 1970s work. https://gamma.io/prints/224ae5b59e86de3afc2435eb3e4ee34b8d8c00eac070cc616987ee0b3154a6a6i0
