First Major Contemporary Artist to Adopt Bitcoin Blockchain

LiveArt is proud to present Human by Yue Minjun, the first Ordinals series from the contemporary art powerhouse.

This groundbreaking collection of 1,200 unique digital masterpieces on the Bitcoin blockchain documents pivotal moments that defined our digital age. Yue Minjun’s iconic laugh is louder than ever as physical and digital artwork sales surpass $150 million.

“The Bitcoin blockchain has unparalleled credibility and permanence in the crypto world. We are bringing Yue Minjun to Bitcoin Ordinals because a blue chip artist in the art world deserves to belong on a blue chip blockchain in the crypto world,” said Boris Pevzner, CEO and co-founder of LiveArt. Human’s narrative has garnered millions of dollars at auction and broken records, with Gweong-Gweong selling for $6.9 million at Christie’s Hong Kong.

Yue Minjun shared his vision, “After my initial foray into NFTs with Boundless, I became even more fascinated by the potential of Web3 technology. The dynamic development of Bitcoin and the broader landscape of decentralized finance inspired me to interpret world history from a digital perspective. Human embodies this vision, fusing my art with important contemporary narratives.”

Human will launch on May 8, 2024, representing a turning point for art on the Bitcoin blockchain. It is being released exclusively on LiveArt in partnership with the top Ordinals community, including Ordinals Council, Sparks, Xverse, Pizza Ninjas, and Ink, among others.

“Yue Minjun’s ‘Human’ Ordinals series is a major milestone for the Bitcoin blockchain. As the first major contemporary artist to be featured in Bitcoin Ordinals, Yue Minjun will be forever remembered as a pioneering artist in the history of the Bitcoin blockchain. The Ordinals Council is proud to support this groundbreaking project, which paves the way for the future of Bitcoin art,” commented Serge Ajamian, founder of the Ordinals Council.

The series will sell out quickly during the exclusive ‘whitelist’ event for LiveArt partners and members. Get ready to witness a dramatic shift in the world of Bitcoin art.
