Yue Minjun Makes History: First Major Artist Enters Bitcoin Art Scene with “Human” Ordinals Collection

New York, USA – April 30, 2024 – In a groundbreaking move, renowned artist Yue Minjun has partnered with LiveArt to launch “Human,” the very first Ordinals collection by a major contemporary artist on the Bitcoin blockchain. This monumental collection of 1,200 unique digital artworks marks a pivotal moment for the convergence of art and blockchain technology.

Minjun, whose iconic laughing figures have garnered over $150 million in sales, brings his signature style to the Bitcoin blockchain, chronicling significant moments that have shaped the digital age. This first-of-its-kind collection signifies a major shift in the art world, as blue-chip artists like Minjun embrace the permanence and credibility offered by Bitcoin Ordinals.

“The Bitcoin blockchain offers unparalleled credibility and permanence within the crypto universe,” states Boris Pevzner, CEO and Co-Founder of LiveArt. “By bringing Yue Minjun to Bitcoin Ordinals, we’re establishing a new frontier for art collecting, where the world’s most esteemed artists meet the crypto world’s most secure blockchain.”

Minjun himself expresses his excitement for this artistic evolution: “Following my initial foray into NFTs with ‘Boundless,’ I’m even more captivated by the potential of Web3 technologies. The dynamic nature of Bitcoin and the broader DeFi landscape inspired me to reimagine the world’s history from a digital perspective. ‘Human’ embodies this vision, seamlessly blending my art with significant contemporary narratives.”

Launching exclusively on LiveArt on May 8th, 2024, “Human” marks a turning point for art on the Bitcoin blockchain. This groundbreaking project is supported by top Ordinals communities like the Ordinals Council, Sparks, Xverse, Pizza Ninjas, and Ink.
