Rewind Collective

Rewind Collective operates anonymously, and no individual members have been publicly identified in the sources reviewed, so there is no birth date, nationality, or personal biography to report. The earliest documented exhibition activity places the collective at Amar Gallery in London in 2017 and again in 2019. Its profile rose sharply in 2021, when digital works were included in Christie's Post-War and Contemporary Art day sale in New York on May 14, 2021, and in Phillips' 20th Century and Contemporary Art Day Sale the following month. Around the same period, the collective partnered with collector and philanthropist Amar Singh on an NFT initiative intended to direct proceeds toward women and LGBTQ+ artists and causes. The collective has continued to exhibit through 2025 and into 2026, including "No Fear in Trying" at Institut in London, "Sommergaste: Rewind Collective" at Bastian in London, and a screening titled "Rewind: Still/Rec" presented by Videotage at Art Basel Hong Kong in 2026. As of this writing, there is no obituary, dissolution notice, or gallery statement suggesting the collective has ceased activity.

No verbatim, attributable critical assessment of Rewind Collective in a major outlet could be confirmed in the sources reviewed. Gallery materials cite museum collection placements for the collective, including the New Orleans Museum of Art, the National Gallery of South Africa, and Fundacion MEDIANOCHE0 in Spain, but this claim rests on a single gallery source and could not be independently corroborated elsewhere in the sources reviewed. What is more clearly documented is gallery representation at Kavi Gupta, Bastian, and Amar Gallery, and inclusion in Christie's and Phillips day sales built around NFT and digital art. The collective's own framing, echoed across its gallery pages, centers on correcting gender and minority imbalances in art history through digitally reworked or invented imagery.

Rewind Collective's recorded auction high is USD 201,600, paid for "Remember Us XV (Women Throughout History)" at Phillips in New York in June 2021; the exact sale date is not specified in the Phillips listing reviewed. The collective's work was also included in a Christie's day sale in New York on May 14, 2021, though a confirmed sale price for that lot could not be independently verified in the sources reviewed. Phillips has also recorded smaller results for the collective, including "Double Exposure, Virgin Mary #1" at HKD 252,000 and "Mother Nature X" at GBP 27,940; exact US dollar equivalents for those two results were not confirmed in the sources reviewed and are not restated here as dollar figures. Taken together, the collective's public auction history is short, concentrated in the 2021 NFT market peak, and limited to a handful of results, so any single sale should be read as a data point rather than a trend.

There is no catalogue raisonne for Rewind Collective, and because the collective is anonymous, authenticity is established through the galleries that represent the work rather than through an individual artist's studio or estate; collectors should confirm current representation directly with Kavi Gupta, Bastian, or Amar Gallery before a purchase. The auction record is thin, with only a handful of public sales, most of them clustered in the 2021 NFT market, so the USD 201,600 high should be treated as an outlier data point rather than a stable benchmark. Works tied to NFTs may carry blockchain-based provenance considerations that are separate from, and in addition to, standard fine-art provenance, and that practice has not been independently verified for every work attributed to the collective.
