Herbert W. Franke's (@HerbertWFranke) Tribute Surpasses Half a Million Dollars π
In this thread I share:
1. General info & stats: artists, artwork, volume 2. All the participants and their tributes 3. My favorite tributes 4. Artwork available in the primary market
1/13 π§΅
This summary took longer than expected because there are ~5k pieces made by +60 crypto artists across #tezos and #ethereum and more than 6 marketplaces
My goal isnβt to have the _exact_ stats but rather an approximation. The actual numbers could vary (always DYOR)
2/13 π
The volume including primary and secondary is +$460k.
This doesnβt include donated artwork and represents the total volume and _NOT_ the donated amount.
Some donated 25%, 50%, or 100% of the proceeds from the primary sales, and other times from the secondary sales.
3/13 π
High-profile artists donated multiple pieces like Vera Molnar, @ArtOnBlockchain, and many long-time Herbert friends.
Interstices, Plotter Graphics, 1985 by Vera MolnΓ‘r - The 98 years old artist donated a historical work from the series βIntersticesβ from the mid-1980s.

My Favorite Tributes
1. @iRyanBell - Perpetuum 1/1, I think Ryan nailed Herbertβs style and innovated by releasing it as a 1/1 on @FxHash
6/13 π
2. @stefan_contiero - Bare di Cristallo is a re-imagination of the book cover for "Die Glasfalle", a novel by H. W. Franke

3 @agoriamusic - The future has always belonged to him
"I kept thinking on my dj tour what kind of piece would honor @HerbertWFranke. I wanted it minimal...
I see my piece as an allegory: the legacy he is giving us, from a future that has always belonged to him"
Some artists didn't mint their work and donated the pieces directly to the @HerbertWFranke Foundation (mostly long-time friends), those aren't included in these lists.
