Platinum Gemstone Sculpture 'Rare' to Headline Bitcoin Conference 2025 Auction
Art and technology collide at the upcoming Bitcoin Conference 2025 in Las Vegas. American sculptor Maxfield Mellenbruch returns to the stage with 'Rare', a platinum and gemstone-encrusted sculpture valued at over $2 million. The piece will be the centrepiece of the conference's art auction and is set to become the highest-selling artwork priced in bitcoin in the conference's history.
'Rare', a jeweled sculpture featuring over 12,000 gemstones and a 2.56-pound platinum cast, will be on exclusive display in the Deep Vault VIP exhibition during the conference. Access is limited to Whale Pass holders. The sculpture's design blends anatomical familiarity, extreme material excess, and satirical details, reflecting Mellenbruch's unique artistic vision.
Before its auction, 'Rare' will be the subject of a panel discussion on May 29, 2025, from 3:10-3:40 PM. Titled 'From Cave Art to Code: Redefining Value in a World of Absolute Scarcity', the panel will feature Mellenbruch discussing his work and its relationship with bitcoin. The auction for 'Rare' will conclude just hours after the panel, marking a significant moment in the conference's history.
Mellenbruch's return to the bitcoin stage with 'Rare' is highly anticipated. The sculpture's unique blend of artistry and excess is set to make waves at the Bitcoin Conference 2025, both in its exclusive exhibition and its expected record-breaking auction.
