Renowned auction house Christie’s and luxury fashion brand Gucci are joining forces for an exciting venture in the digital art realm. Their collaborative auction, “Future Frequencies: Explorations in Generative Art and Fashion,” is set to captivate art and fashion enthusiasts alike. Scheduled to commence on July 18 and run through July 25, the event will feature a curated selection of 21 NFTs crafted by leading digital artists.
The artists contributing to this extraordinary endeavor include Claire Silver, Emi Kusano, Emily Xie, William Mapan, Zach Lieberman, Botto, Helena Sarin, and DRAUP, among others. Their shared focus lies in exploring generative systems and artificial intelligence, effectively showcasing the technological backbone of this remarkable NFT collection.
Drawing Inspiration from Gucci’s Iconic Aesthetics
Inspired by Gucci‘s iconic textiles and distinctive color palettes, the NFT collection pays homage to Gucci’s Bamboo 1947 series. This legendary collection is celebrated for its handbags featuring Gucci’s signature bamboo handle. By incorporating generative systems, such as algorithms and AI, the collection represents a fusion of art, fashion, and technology, pushing the boundaries of creativity.
Christie’s 3.0 and Gucci Art Space
The auction will take place on Christie’s 3.0, an on-chain auction platform introduced by the esteemed auction house last year. Additionally, the artworks will be showcased on Gucci Art Space, an online gallery space curated by the luxury brand.
