As The Gateway 2022<\/a> draws closer, we\u2019ve taken great joy in sharing with you all the artists<\/a>, speakers<\/a>, and activations<\/a> to expect at the five-day event. Since we\u2019re occupying two entire downtown Miami city blocks in celebration of all things NFTs, an exclusive NFT auction would serve as the perfect keystone for the week\u2019s festivities.<\/p>\n And the legacy auction house Christie\u2019s is here to deliver just that.<\/p>\n Starting on November 29, Christie\u2019s is set to make its second-ever sale on Christie\u2019s 3.0<\/a> \u2014 the auction house\u2019s recently launched<\/a> on-chain NFT marketplace<\/a> \u2014 at The Gateway 2022. Titled Next Wave: The Miami Edit, the sale will consist of a highly curated selection of 15 NFTs from some of the most prominent artists active in the NFT space. Headlining the sale is Mother Flock from the Life In Our Minds<\/a> NFT collection. The work is a collaborative piece from the art collective Random International, and is touted as a \u201cconstantly evolving virtual sculpture\u201d according to a press release shared with nft now. Bidding and sales for the featured pieces will open on Christie\u2019s on-chain NFT marketplace will open the following day, on November 30.<\/p>\n Despite the central piece\u2019s virtual presentation, attendees of The Gateway will be able to interact with it, influencing its very evolution. At Christie\u2019s installation for Next Wave: The Miami Edit, attendees are free to manipulate the flocks of bird-like origami figures that make up Mother Flock, which hopes to serve as a testament to the creative possibilities afforded to NFT artists.<\/p>\n Along with the highlighted piece, the upcoming Christie\u2019s sale will feature works from Dave Krugman, Cath Simard, Elf J Trul, Sasha Stiles, Cory Van Lew, and more. Speaking on the opportunity, Christie\u2019s Director of Digital Art Sales Nicole Sales Giles said in a press release shared with nft now: \u201cWe are beyond proud to be leaders in the Web3 community and are humbled to have the ability and privilege to amplify these important artistic voices in the contemporary art landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n To see these works in person on top of everything else prepared for The Gateway 2022, RSVP your tickets here<\/a> now.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nThe Gateway attendees will help Christie\u2019s installation evolve all week<\/h2>\n
