NEW YORK, NY.- Christie’s will present for the second year in a row: Beyond the Screen, a digital art auction open online for bidding from 29 May to 10 June on christies.com. The sale offers a vast cross-section of the finest examples of digital artworks, hailing from the most highly coveted artists in the space, with an emphasis on physical works of art. Following last year’s success, the sale invites collectors to experience digital art “beyond screens”. With more than 20 lots on offer, the sale’s contents are each individually contextualized through the larger frame of the 21st century and the landscape of the contemporary art world more broadly, inviting both digitally native and traditional collectors an opportunity to engage.

Sale highlights include examples by emerging artists of today, including Summer Wagner and Grant Yun, as well as renowned pioneers within the field. The leading highlight of the sale is Untitled (i23-3484), a fantastic 1970 work on paper by Harold Cohen, celebrated digital artist and creator of AARON, a groundbreaking program designed to produce original artistic images autonomously.

Nicole Sales Giles, VP, Director, Digital Art Sales, remarks, “The second iteration of ‘Beyond the Screen’ reflects a growing shift in contemporary art: artists are increasingly using digital technology to create physical, tangible works. To me, this is one of the most exciting directions in art today. The works in this sale show how artists are pushing the boundaries of digital media, and how audiences are connecting with these pieces in a direct, tactile way. As we move deeper into the 21st century, we’re proud to continue championing the artists leading this evolution.”
