ANNOUNCEMENT: A milestone sale of $1,500,000 USD is complete for a full triptych of works by john gerrard, presented with Fellowship together for the first time at Art Basel Zero 10 in June: ‘WESTERN FLAG (SPINDLETOP, TEXAS), 2017’ depicts a flag of carboniferous smoke over the Lucas Gusher, site of the first major oil strike in 1901. The real-time simulation is an edition of 4 + 2 APs. ‘FLARE (OCEANIA), 2022’ depicts a flag of gas over a heating ocean, the South Pacific near Tonga. The real-time simulation is an edition of 5 + 3 APs. ‘STANDARD, 2023’ depicts a flag of water vapour over the Mojave Desert in Nevada, looking to a hopeful future. The real-time simulation is an edition of 4 + 2 APs. Fellowship co-founder alejandro cartagena comments that the ability to highlight all three works together at Zero 10 was an important factor. Via Eli Scheinman: “The outcome for John Gerrard and Fellowship demonstrates what is possible when digital practices are presented as they were always intended to be: as a critical part of the contemporary art world. These worlds have been artificially separated for too long, and results like this suggest that collectors are ready to move beyond that distinction. A central goal of Zero 10 is to connect exhibitors and artists with new communities of collectors, curators, and institutions. Sometimes that results in a sale on the fair floor - just as often, it begins a relationship that deepens over the weeks and months that follow.”

ANNOUNCEMENT: Remembrance of Things Future by Yatreda ያጥሬዳ has been fully acquired by collectors AP and batsoupyum. The series of artworks, a 16-minute film and triptych set, was conceived in collaboration with LACMA and Cactoid Labs. They include full resolution NFTS and archivally printed framed photographs. AP acquires Revelation of the Empress for 13 ETH. BatSoupYum acquires the triptych of Path of the Demera, Unearthing the Relic, and Guiding Light for 12 ETH. "When we created this artwork, we had to believe it would all come together in a single shot. We had to believe this story would one day find its rightful homes and be appreciated as intended," begins Yatreda. "Now, it will be stewarded by LACMA, a museum we deeply respect, and with two remarkable collectors that our space deeply respects, AP and BatSoupYum. What a beautiful vision." Lady Cactoid🌵❤️ adds commentary on the cross-centuries connection: "Yatreda's stunning films and motion portraits transform a historic Ethiopian thirteenth century bronze cross in LACMA's collection from a static museum object into a living visual narrative, reaffirming how legends endure through modern artisans."
