The “Themes and Variations” collection comprises 500 distinctive generative artworks, reflecting Vera Molnár’s passion for exploring ideas she has nurtured since the late 1960s when she ventured into the world of algorithmic art. At the core of her artistic expression lies the seamless fusion of letters as pure abstract forms, combined with her embrace of disorder. This intentional approach grants the machine a degree of autonomy, challenging and even defying the predefined rules set by Molnár herself. As a result, this artistic exploration uncovers uncharted territories within her creative practice, unveiling a dynamic interplay between the artist and the machine.
It will be released through a Dutch Auction, commencing at 20 ETH, with a resting price of 2 ETH.
Sotheby’s has recently unveiled its new Generative Art Program, akin to Art Blocks, featuring this collection. Sotheby’s plans to launch three Generative Art collections annually. This bold move showcases Sotheby’s wholehearted embrace of on-chain Gen Art, leveraging Dutch Auctions, on-chain minting and ETH payments. With their extensive expertise and influence in the art world, Sotheby’s is uniquely poised to propel the growth of NFTs and generative art to new heights.
