A frame from Robbie Barrat's pioneering 2018 AI-generated nude portrait series has refinanced for $140,000 USDC at 15% APR on the Gondi lending protocol. **The Artwork** - One of 300 frames from Barrat's early generative art series - Originally distributed as redeemable cards at Christie's Art + Tech Summit in 2018 - Many frames remain lost, never claimed from original addresses - Created using a GAN trained on thousands of classical nude portraits from WikiArt **Historical Significance** Barrat's work predates the recent AI art boom by five years, exploring fundamental questions about machine learning and artistic authorship. The series bridges classical painting techniques with algorithmic generation, producing distorted, painterly figures that challenge traditional notions of creativity. This refinancing marks a notable moment for early museum-quality AI artwork moving through on-chain credit markets. The piece represents both the evolution of generative art and the maturation of NFT-backed lending infrastructure. [View the loan details on Gondi](https://gondi.xyz)
