CURATORIAL STATEMENT
Mint Gold Dust returns to NFT.NYC with an exclusive collection to be sold during a live auction at the official NFT.NYC VIP and Speaker Dinner at the Marriott Marquis Times Square on Monday, June 20th, 2022 at 7:30pm. Mint Gold Dust is auctioning off nearly 20 lots featuring unique and diverse 1/1’s from world renowned Middle Eastern artist Dia al-Azzawi, award winning Austin artist Mila Sketch, and an NFT from Black Box Collective that grants the holder private jet access. In addition, the team has secured a large selection of RAREPEPEs, including a rare, nearly complete, collection of Series 1 RAREPEPE cards, one being the famed Satoshi Natamoto Series 1 Card. If sold, the collection sale will be a monumental event for NFT and art history. Mint Gold Dust partner Tokenframe, the most technically advanced and feature-rich display frame for crypto art, will also be a part of the sale. Tokenframe’s patented technology connects your wallet with the frame to allow you to display your favorite NFT collection seamlessly. One of their tabletop frames, currently only available via a waiting list, will be up for grabs. Immediately after launching the Mint Gold Dust platform in November 2021, the team hosted an auction at NFT.NYC 2021 where rare and vintage NFTs were sold, including a RAREPEPE Satoshi Nakamoto that was sold to Metapurse founder MetaKovan for $500,000. Since then, Mint Gold Dust has continued to onboard artists and collectors, host online exhibitions, and has brought another iteration of the auction to community gathering ETH Denver in February, where they sold works by Android Jones, Mr. Soul, and others.
