An early pioneer and signal booster of the NFT movement, his name has become synonymous with digital art in the media. Despite this fame, the prolific creator had yet to have one of his NFTs make it into a museum\u2019s permanent collection since that avenue had opened up. But now, FTX BOARD MEETING, DAY #5676 11.13.2022 has finally broken that streak, and it is certainly an unforgettable one.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">FTX BOARD MEETING has been acquired by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.castellodirivoli.org\/en\/evento\/the-beeple-donation-presentation-of-the-artwork-ftx-board-meeting-day-5676-11-13-2022-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\">Castello di Rivoli Museo d\u2019Artte Contemporanea<\/a> in Italy, the first NFT in its collection and a follow-up to the museum\u2019s 2022 exhibition of Human One, another work of Beeple\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The announcement comes out all the more interesting due to the fact that Castello di Rivoli had to censor their new acquisition in all press about it. FTX BOARD MEETING is, to put it lightly, a racy work. Clearly lampooning the downfall of FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried, it depicts multiple versions of the man having sex with himself on the company\u2019s office floor, the definition of a narcissistic orgy. The museum stated that they had to censor the images in order to abide by regulations on forums like YouTube to not be flagged as pornographic.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Beeple\u2019s voice is as irreverent as ever. There\u2019s a scintillating self-awareness within his works in the increasingly bourgeois sphere of digital art collection. He pokes fun from within the cultural and economic framework that supports him, one that he is owed much of the credit for its flourishing interest. It\u2019s a grey area of true satire and being part of that which you jeer. FTX BOARD MEETING epitomizes the bizarre dichotomy of the digital realm in an undeniably clever way, and it\u2019s the perfect piece for the artist\u2019s first museum acquisition.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beeple has been frequently in the spotlight over the past few years.
