When a painting by a famous artist like Vincent Van Gogh sells for millions of dollars, it makes headlines. But what about a digital work made by a current artist? Would you expect it to sell for $6.6 million? That is exactly what happened last week, with a 10-second video made by the artist known as BEEPLE. Last year, an art collector from Florida bought Beeple’s video for about $67,000. Last week, the collector sold the video for $6.6 million. The video artwork shows former U.S. President Donald Trump on the ground, with his body covered in slogans phrases used by groups to gain attention.
