It was indeed sold for the price of 7.09 million dollars on the OpenSea marketplace. The work is an ironic snub to the "Right-Click, Save As" movement that appeared in 2021. A movement carried by many Internet users annoyed by the success of Crypto Art and who have thus contributed to download and widely distribute the most expensive NFTs on the web. 8. Crossroad – $6.6 million nft-most-expensive-2022 Another work by the artist Beeple which ranks among the most expensive NFTs in the world. Crossroad was sold on Nifty Gateway for $6,600,000.
The work offers a lackluster caricature photo retouching service of the former president of the United States, lying naked on the ground, whose body is tagged with a set of anti-Trump messages. A work whose design is itself particularly original, since it had to change appearance depending on the results of the 2020 presidential election in the USA. Indeed, in the event of Donald Trump's victory, the work would have represented him crowned and crossing the flames. 9. Ocean Front – $6 million nft-most-expensive-2022 Beeple signs once again with his hand a work of Crypto Art sold at a gold price.
Ocean Front thus sold for $6 million from the NFT markeplace Nifty Gateway. The symbolism of the work does not go unnoticed, since it clearly depicts the problems that humanity will have to face with the rising waters induced by climate change. Proceeds from the sale of the NFT Ocean Front were donated to the Open Earth Foundation, a non-profit organization working to fight climate change. 10. CryptoPunk 5217 – $5.44 million nft-most-expensive-2022 And here is another CryptoPunk, this time sold in July 2021 for $5.44 million. The CryptoPunk 5217 is a punk monkey who this time wears an orange knitted cap on his head, and who wears a gold chain around his neck.
