The official auction has the artists wallet address listed and you can verify on a block explorer that its legit.

How do I know that that particular wallet belongs to the artist? I see some ENS entries on the address, but not sure if/how that helps tie it uniquely to a person.

Thats a good question since there's no official blue check to verify on the blockchain that its really them but the NFT exchanges show a blue check with his ETH wallet id.
