Sarah Zucker, born 1985,[2] is an American visual artist and writer based in Hollywood, Los Angeles.[3] She specializes in mixing contemporary digital techniques with older analog approaches as well as the use of VHS.[3][4][5] Zucker is considered a pioneer of crypto art, releasing digital editions of her video art as non-fungible tokens since 2019.[3][6]

Life and career[]

In the early 2010s, Zucker ran a web design firm, but soon shifted her art practice to focus on screen-based art.[3]

In 2014, Zucker established the design and animation studio YoMeryl together with the artist Bronwyn Lundberg.[7] Together, they were the first artists to present .gif images as art at the Brooklyn Museum.[8]

In June 2021, her work was sold at Sotheby’s as part of “Natively Digital,” the auction house’s first curated NFT Sale.[9][10] That same month, her work was sold at Bonhams as part of “CryptOGs: The Pioneers of NFT Art,” achieving a record price for her work at auction.[11]

Zucker wrote and directed multiple short-form comedy series for Super Deluxe, including Panic Attacks, Shows That Weren't, and Mutations, a morphing celebrity lexicon.[7] Zucker is also a Jeopardy! champion.[12]
