🎤 Community Feedback
Sotheby's announcement seems to have been mostly well-received, though artist Cory Van Lew presented a dissenting view, stating, "Almost looks like they are trying to suck some more $ out of our market by fulfilling a bunch of artists dreams of selling at Sotheby's, how and why would we say no? Sotheby's is cool n all I get it, but the real moves are making your own museum/gallery of some sort (i.e. beeple) and bring the community to your world."
