I have to admit: I managed to get my hands on a piece by @kimasendorf (commissioned by @jdh). 45DF #96 is in the vault now. I love everything about it—the unmistakable digital language of Kim, the physical object, even the wild packaging. This piece has a special place in my collection, and it always will. And maybe I played the tiniest part in how all of this came to be. That’s what many people don’t understand: if you collect for the right reasons, you’re so much more than a buyer. You can’t help but engage with artists, open doors, and support where you can. Something grows—something far more complex than what’s visible from the outside. For me, this work also stands for that complexity. Thank you, Kim. (And of course @jdh as well.)

If you want accurate prices, as you may take actions based on them, then it's good that people make money by making prices more accurate. But if you just wanted a "fair" contest, you may think some players "win" unfairly. axios.com/2026/01/03/maduro-…
