"An authorized third party is auctioning an entry on a blockchain for a URL that points to an authorized copy of a scaled up version of a born-digital Warhol image."

I can barely wrap my head around it and i work in software. How do non-tech people understand what the auction is actually about?

Great thread/teardown.

I don't know how it's not detrimental/embarrassing to Christie's reputation and legitimacy to be parading out these claims/this stuff

If I had paid big bucks for non-exclusive access to a public URL of a jpg, the resolution would be the least of my worries.

And not to nitpick, but Amiga 1000 could go up to 640x512i, 320x200 was not the maximum resolution.
