Sale details: Among the highest sales to come from Dmitri Cherniak’s Ringers project lives Ringers #109. Hailed for its complexities as a piece of generative art, #109, sold for more than $7 million in October 2021, further solidifying the importance of the Art Blocks project.
Why it’s valuable: Ringers was one of the first projects to launch in 2021. In addition to its historic significance in the NFT space, it’s also one of the most popular Art Blocks Curated collections. Although Ringers and Cherniak himself were both subject to the controversy surrounding the original inspiration behind the project (with some remarking that the idea may have been stolen), the sale of this specific intricate ringer helped proliferate the conversation surrounding plagiarism on the blockchain and general crypto-artistic integrity.
