Sotheby’s Explores Digital Art for Nearly Two Years

The art broker has actively explored the digital art space for slightly more than two years.

In October 2021, BeInCrypto reported that Sotheby’s would be launching Sotheby’s Metaverse to offer digital collectors a curated NFT collection.

It was further noted that NFTs were instrumental in keeping art auctioneers afloat during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Additionally, many physical locations frequented by art lovers had to close their doors.
