96° in the Shade is the genesis collection of photographer Barry Sutton. Notable collectors include Gmoney, who bought the first 10 pieces from the collection and Justin Aversano who first introduced the collection to CryptoPunks and BAYC collectors on his Twin Flames discord. The collection of 100 works, initially priced at 0.25 ETH sold out in three days. The total sales volume for the collection is currently 96.1 ETH.
Barry has been photographing youth culture since 1987 and famously documented the rise of west coast hip hop music in the late 80’s early 90’s. Tragically his entire archive of negatives and prints from that era were destroyed by USPS in 2015 en route to NY. Only a few prints and digital scans remain.
After the successful launch of 96° in the Shade, Barry launched Paris in the Summer, a small collection of portraits of Paris Hilton, followed by his ambitious nyc365, 365 photographs of New York City shot between 2008 and 2022- the collection sold out in one week. His latest venture 96 Studio collaborates with select photographers to bring their important bodies of work to the blockchain.
