Beautiful Outliers

This gallery is a celebration of select pieces in the collection I feel are "beautiful outliers". The concept is similar to what others have called "transcendent grails", such as Fidenza #938, Ringers #879, and Meridian #801, but perhaps less striking (and more affordable).

These beautiful outliers may be understated, but what they all have in common is they invoke an aesthetic that's unusual in the wider output set. They exist at the edge of the algorithm. Sometimes its a very subtle difference, other times its more obvious.

I've acquired most of these pieces from secondary markets or other collectors, so they also show my tastes and curation process. In one instance, I was fortunate enough to get one straight from the minter.

I've contrasted each piece (along with its working title) with a selection of more representative outputs from each collection to make the difference, as I see it, visible. I hope you enjoy what I've arranged.
