$ 70 million has been paid for digital artwork that “does not physically exist” – BBC News

A digital work of art has been auctioned off for nearly $ 70 million and has become the first sale by an auction house of a non-physically existing work. The work, entitled “Everydays – the First 5000 Days,” was done by a relatively unknown American artist known as Beeple. The starting price was just $ 100, but a record 22 million people saw it online as it achieved an amazing sale price, making Beeple’s work one of the most valuable living artists.
