Gig Outline

Article Description: Billboard articles are brief updates and news stories that cover creative developments across the blockchain industry. This article reports on a recent auction house - Christie's - implementing auctions off of the Ethereum blockchain by way of Artory - a registry for art and collectibles.

Article Excerpt: It hasn’t been long since Christie’s announced a partnership with Artory, and yet it already appears that a record has been set. On November 13, the Barney A. Ebsworth Collection raised over $317 million and has officially become the most valuable art sale recorded on a blockchain. Artory uses the Ethereum blockchain to record the life cycle of pieces of art, such as sales, auction dates, and other relevant information.
