Iconic and the Museum of Art + Light’s third collaboration will highlight the remarkable talent of Erick “Snowfro” Calderon. This release offers collectors the opportunity to participate in three separate auctions, each featuring an iconic Chromie Squiggle.
The winner of each auction will receive a 24” x 24” hand-signed artistic reproduction of their Chromie Squiggle by Matr Labs, a certificate of authenticity, and the matching NFT.
With its meticulous attention to detail, the print not only captures the vibrant essence of the Chromie Squiggle but also adds a tangible, collectible piece to the bidder’s art collection. These unique prints are a testament to the intersection of digital and physical art, offering collectors a rare opportunity to own a completely unique piece that bridges both worlds.
”Simple and easily identifiable, each Squiggle embodies the soul of the Art Blocks platform. Consider each my personal signature as an artist, developer, and tinkerer.”
– Erick “Snowfro” Calderon
Iconic has collaborated with AOTM to present art collectors with an exclusive opportunity for both seasoned collectors and new admirers of Calderon’s iconic artistry. Utilizing a traditional American auction format, this release features a single Chromie Squiggle in the “slinky” style and two Chromie Squiggles in the “normal” style, each distinguished by different starting and ending colors.
Chromie Squiggle #9752: Digital token & a hand-signed 24″ x 24″ reproduction by Matr Labs.
Chromie Squiggle #9753: Digital token & a hand-signed 24″ x 24″ reproduction by Matr Labs.
Chromie Squiggle #9756: Digital token & a hand-signed 24″ x 24″ reproduction by Matr Labs.

Offered as an auction lot of 3, this selection of artworks represents three distinct approaches through which Xie has explored collage: a piece combining mixed digital media, an edition from a code-based series reinterpreting early 20th-century modernist collage, and a physical proof featuring hand-finished gold leaf overlays, produced by Avant Arte.
Collage and materiality have been central themes in Xie’s works. This unique collection presents the artist’s diverse and engaging ways of interacting with these concepts.
This auction offers collectors the chance to acquire three pieces curated by Emily Xie. The winner will receive two works in both digital and physical formats, with the third work offered exclusively in a physical format. Featuring a brand-new, one-of-one piece created specifically for this event, alongside two other chosen works, the winner will get three hand-signed prints of each work and the digital versions of “Off Script #53” and “Aphelion Skies”.
This curated set enhances the collector’s experience, showcasing the art’s versatility and Emily’s craftsmanship. Iconic, in collaboration with AOTM, presents this unique release, providing bidders the exclusive chance to own three works by Emily in a single auction:
Aphelion Skies 1:1 / digital NFT & a hand-signed 15″ x 25″ museum-quality print.
Off Script #53 / digital NFT & a hand-signed 18″ x 24″ museum-quality print.
Floral Pattern with Gold Foil / hand-signed 12″ x 21.5″ museum-quality print.
”The visuals I create are suggestively figurative, and I encourage viewers to draw upon their imaginations to complete the latent narratives embedded within each piece.”
