Now, her work takes centre stage in Sotheby\u2019s Gen Art Program. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sotheby\u2019s, known for its prestigious auctions, ventures into the blockchain with the Gen Art Program. What\u2019s more, Moln\u00e1r\u2019s journey into computer art began in 1968 at the Sorbonne, where she used punch cards and the early programming language Fortran to create artworks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moln\u00e1r\u2019s collection is named \u2018<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/metaverse.sothebys.com\/gen-art-vera-molnar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Themes and Variations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u2019 Working with algorithmic artist Martin Grasser, she devised a system that generates 500 unique pieces. In addition, these artworks explore the typography and formulation of the letters N, F, and T. The series, which went live on July 28, follows a sequential pattern. Thus, each work\u2019s background influences the foreground of the next piece. Moln\u00e1r has expanded her palette to include a vibrant range of pastel crayons, adding a new dimension to her artistry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Furthermore, Michael Bouhanna, Sotheby\u2019s Head of Digital Art, shares his admiration for Moln\u00e1r, hailing her as a true legend of generative art. Moreover, her decades of experimentation and mastery in algorithm-based digital art have paved the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sotheby\u2019s Gen Art Program is working with Art Blocks, a platform dedicated to generative art. The auction is using its partner Art Blocks\u2019 mode of sale called a Dutch auction. For the Moln\u00e1r sale, bidding starts at a ceiling price of 20 ETH or $37,000, gradually descending over time. Furthermore, this marks the first time, in the auction house\u2019s 300-year history that its used this mode of sale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, join Vera Moln\u00e1r on her journey and witness her contributions to the world of generative NFT art.
