Mike Winkelmann (Beeple) In May 2007, the digital artist Mike Winkelmann, also known as Beeple, set out to create and post a new work of art online every day. Beeple achieved this feat, creating a new digital picture each day for 5,000 days straight. Individually known as “Everydays,” collectively, the pieces form the core of “Everydays: the First 5000 Days,” one of the most unique bodies of work to emerge in the history of digital art. On March 11, 2021, Beeple’s “Everydays: the First 5000 Days” made history by selling for $69.3 million at Christie’s. This sale set multiple records, including being the most expensive digital artwork ever sold, the third-highest price paid for a work by a living artist, the highest price for any lot in any online-only auction, the highest price for any winning bid placed online, and the highest total for any online-only auction. Beeple’s works highlight the growing significance of digital art in the global art market.
