> From September 12–20, Christie’s will host “Keith Haring: Pixel Pioneer,” an online auction of five NFTs of the artist’s Amiga drawings, which have been minted on the Ethereum blockchain.

Your unique chance to own a piece of nothing which will inevitably accrue in value¹.

1: Probably. Possibly. Maybe.

"Hitting the block" = "Keith Haring’s Never-Before-Seen Computer Drawings Are Hitting the Block as NFTs at a New Christie’s Online Auction"

I can't believe NFTs are still a thing, I thought the bubble rightfully burst months ago?

I guess you get more than the NFTs. Some paper trail, authentication, release of ownership, that kind of thing. And Christie's guarantee.
Don't underestimate the art market. A lot of money in it (still), high expectations, willing artists and owners, and valuations are dependent on the expertise of a rather closed circle of few who are in constant contact with collectors, artists, galleries and other insiders. If they see a chance of making NFTs profitable, they will realise it.
Warhol, Haring, Pollock – after the NFT art market of contemporary artworks failed, they now go for the safe old modernists?
