Christie's has announced an innovative digital art auction titled 'Bridging Worlds: Digital Art Beyond Borders' in collaboration with crypto bank Sygnum.

The auction will utilize Christie's 3.0 platform, providing a fully digital interface that ensures a secure and transparent process for buyers around the globe.

Featuring digital artworks that incorporate NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), the auction will confirm ownership and authenticity in the burgeoning digital art market.

Prominent contemporary digital artists such as Andreas Gysin, Deafbeef, and Emi Kusano will showcase their innovative works, exploring themes of globalization and migration.

This event is particularly significant for UNHCR, as it addresses one of the largest humanitarian crises, with over 100 million people displaced worldwide.

Proceeds from the auction will directly support UNHCR's efforts to provide essential services like shelter, medical assistance, and food to millions of refugees.

The auction aims to raise vital funds for UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Agency, to bolster its global operations for individuals fleeing wars and humanitarian crises.

This auction exemplifies the powerful intersection of art, technology, and humanitarian efforts, showcasing how these elements can unite to create a positive impact.

Sygnum, a leader in the digital assets sector, will facilitate the auction, further enhancing the connection between art and technology.

Christie's has a proven track record in the digital art auction market, including the record-breaking sale of a Beeple artwork for over $69 million in 2021.
