In September of last year, Pharrell introduced his JOOPITER platform plans with an auction comprised of 52 "personal artifacts" from his collection. At the time, Pharrell was billing the then-recently launched platform as a space "for myself and for my fellow curators" where "existing and future generations of collectors can feel welcome to take part in this exchange.”
More recently, a George Condo painting was reported to have gone for more than $1 million on JOOPITER as part of Pharrell and Sarah Andelman's Just Phriends auction.
