NFT artist Beeple, who sold a digital collage at Christie’s for $69 million plans to sell a 7-foot-tall real-life sculpture named HUMAN ONE on Nov. 9 for about $15 million through Christie’s, according to a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/nft-artist-beeple-to-auction-a-real-life-sculpture-for-about-15-million-at-christies-11635422400" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">report</a> in The Wall Street Journal.
<h2 class="article-title h1">NFT Artist Beeple is Returning Back to Christie’s With Physical Art</h2>
Beeple’s first-ever physical work of art will be auctioned at Christie’s on November 9, where the piece is expected to fetch more than $15 million.

The sculpture is a white mahogany column covered in LED screens that display 24 hours' worth of video showing a life-size astronaut dressed in a mirrored helmet and silver suit. The large pillar slowly rotates so it looks like it’s walking through science fiction-style landscapes with Beeple saying he’ll change the backdrops several times a day.

The sculpture also comes with a non-fungible token (NFT) on the Ethereum blockchain. The smart contract of the NFT was specially coded so that even when the work is sold, Beeple will <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/beeples-polygon-matic-will-host-a-carbon-negative-nft-platform">continue</a> to have remote control over what is displayed on those screens.

The astronaut is shown walking rhythmically through dystopian landscapes. The structure and corresponding video are arranged so that the piece appears to contain a life-size, three-dimensional figure that turns as the sculpture rotates.

In a statement, Beeple said:
<blockquote><em>“I am excited to explore concepts through this artwork that tap into the full potential of the medium of digital art, in a way that has never been done before, exploring the unique potential of digital works to dynamically change over time.” </em></blockquote>
<h2><strong>The Artist Shocked the Art World With his NFT Creation</strong></h2>
Beeple shocked the art world when his NFT creation sold for $69,346,250 earlier this year to become the third most expensive work by a living artist ever to sell at auction. The sale resulted in an industry-wide sea change that saw museums, collectors and traditional auction houses adapt to the exploding interest in the <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/cryptopunks-nft-sells-for-more-than-500-million/">Non-Fungible Tokens</a>.
