Christie's Edu Short Course | From Net Art to Beeple: NFTs in Context


The market for non-fungible token-based artworks has exploded since the $69m Beeple splash at Christie’s in March 2021, but how can we understand these artworks within the scope of art history? What is the background of NFTs and how do you position these artworks within the broader digital art movement? 

Through a series of lectures and conversations with a curator, art historian, industry leaders, media personas and pioneers of the NFT space—we put NFTs into the broader context and discuss the aesthetics for the top-selling non-fungible token-based artworks. In NFT fashion, this 5 week course will culminate in a Clubhouse closing party that brings together the course leaders and students for a final critique of the burgeoning space.

What you will gain:

  • Deepen your knowledge of NFTs and learn how to evaluate the aesthetics of top-selling NFTs and crypto art

  • Develop an understanding of how NFTs are situated within the broader context of the art market and art history

  • Learn about the aesthetic themes emerging in the broader crypto art marketplace
