The Edmond Belamy portrait is no stranger to the press, however. There was an initial furore when the AI-generated work was listed by Christie’s earlier this year. The estimated sale range for the painting was based on previous sale prices for the AI-generated portraits of Edmond Belamy’s family members. French collector Nicolas Laugero-Laserre purchased ‘The Count of Belamy’, the image of the family patriarch, in February for $11,430.
Christie’s reported on a bidding war that took place between an online participant from France, a gentleman present at the New York auction house and the anonymous phone bidder who ultimately won. The portrait sold for the same amount as a Picasso print, which Christie’s had estimated in the range of $200,000 to $300,000.
