In this episode we’re honored to welcome Noah Davis, the NFT guy at Christie’s, and more formally, the major auction house’s AVP Specialist, Head of Digital Sales, Contemporary Art. He’s a futurist and a true NFT lover at heart and has used his role and platform at Christie’s to uplift the industry as a whole. He has been at the helm of the 255-year-old institution’s most notable NFT auctions, including Beeple’s landmark $69M sale, Fewocious, CryptoPunks, Trespassing, and more.
In this episode we cover…
- How has the traditional art world reacted to NFTs disrupting the market?
- What was it like leading this charge at a legacy auction house like Christie’s? What were some of the less obvious challenges he had to overcome?
- Does he feel NFTs will drive a seismic shift in the fine art market in the coming years?
- How can blockchain bring more transparency into the traditional world and art provenance? What are some other applications that would help artists and collectors?
- What are some key milestones he foresees with regard to fostering mainstream adoption around NFTs?
- How did the Beeple drop come together at Christies and what was the fine art world’s reaction?
