Many agree that the works below moved the culture forward. Either artistically, by creating a notable moment, or both.

Of course, it was no surprise… that all 12 works are… [my bags]!

Haha I kid. But of course, I do own some of these pieces. For if I were to not grab at least one or two of the most iconic works each year… my name would not be Medici.

Whatever. Let us begin!

In no particular order…

1. BLeU by TJO

No work sent more shock waves through the digital art community than this masterpiece by TJO.

While the art is captivating… the reason BLeU was noted by so many is because of the hundreds of derivatives it inspired, from both emerging and established artists.

TJO made the piece CC0 and gave artists the greenlight to go wild, which in turn made BLeU even more coveted.

This was the perfect combo - a cultural moment inspired by great art.
