Renowned artist Yue Minjun shakes up the Bitcoin art world with his groundbreaking Ordinals collection on LiveArt.

LiveArt, the global Web3 platform for art, is pleased to unveil Yue Minjun’s Human collection, which represents a groundbreaking fusion of art, history, and cutting-edge technology.

In particular, this collection is the first collection presented by a contemporary art giant. This collection consists of 1,200 unique digital masterpieces from the annals of the Bitcoin blockchain. Published exclusively on LiveArt, Human represents the infection point of Bitcoin blockchain art. Human is scheduled for release on May 8, 2024. This launch will be in collaboration with the top Ordinals community, including Spark, Ordinals Council, Pizza Ninjas Ink, and more.

Yue Minjun is a famous contemporary Chinese painter, printmaker, and sculptor. His work has grossed more than $150 million in auction sales and more than $3 million in digital sales. He first entered the NFT space in August 2023 with the launch of his ‘Boundless’ collection. Minjun’s work mainly centers around the image of a smiling man whom he uses as a model and depicts in various situations.

With The Human Collection, Yue Minjun takes art lovers from the Big Bang to Bitcoin, capturing key moments that have shaped today’s digital space. This work of art highlights examples from human history, particularly those cited by historians and philosophers such as Arnold Toynbees’ groundbreaking work “A Study Of History.” In this collection, Minjun returns to this motif and also includes beautifully rendered skull-like images. When asked about her own work, Yue Minjun explained that she likes people adding to NFTs and web3 and wants to participate in this great movement.

Boris Pevzner, CEO and co-founder of LiveArt, described the Yue Minjun collection:

“The Bitcoin blockchain has unparalleled reliability and permanence in the cryptocurrency world. We brought Yue Minjun to Bitcoin Ordinals because the blue-chip artists of the art world are part of the blue-chip blockchain of the cryptocurrency world.”
