Sotheby’s has announced the relaunch of its “Glitch: Beyond Binary” art sale, featuring 34 lots of non-fungible tokens (NFT) from artists in the “glitch art” movement.
The sale comes as a reboot of last month’s “Glitch-ism” auction, which faced criticism for its lack of female artist representation.
Bidding for “Glitch: Beyond Binary” will open on April 19 and will feature artists from diverse backgrounds and identities, including those of different gender expressions, sexual orientations, races, ethnicities, and neuro-types.
Sotheby’s has enlisted Dina Chang and Dawnia Darkstone to co-curate the sale, ensuring greater representation and diversity in the artwork showcased.
Glitch art, which uses digital or analog errors to achieve disruption in a piece of art, is often used as a form of political and identity expression by artists. The relaunch of the auction aims to better represent the diverse community of artists engaged in the glitch art movement.
