durch ein Geschenk von @caro-art und @wulff-media an @balte bin ich erst vor ca. zehn Tagen auf das geniale Hive Frontend nftshowrooms aufmerksam geworden.
Das es hier auf der Hive Blockchain zahlreiche Künstler und Artisten gibt, war mir zwar schon länger aufgefallen, dass diese jedoch bereits seit einiger Zeit ein eigenes Frontend haben auf der die Kunstwerke in Form von Nonfungible Tokens (NFTs) mit Hive.swap käuflich erworben werden können, ist dann doch ein geniales Konzept, welches die HIVE Chain enorm bereichert.
Die Einführung des nftShowroom frontends stellt einen wichtigen Schritt in der Evolution der internationalen Kunstszene sowie auch der Hive-Chain dar - nicht nur aus Sicht der Künstler, sondern auch aus Sicht der Kunstliebhaber, die jetzt in virtuellen Gallerien frei nach Lust und Laune zum Teil sensationelle Kunstwerke bestaunen und falls gewünscht auch käuflich - meist- für den privaten Gebrauch - erwerben können.
Einige Künstler und Anbieter von NFT´s bieten diese auch mit limitierten Reproduktionsrechten an. Limited Reproductions heisst, dass der Eigentümer des NFT-Kunstwerkes die Rechte für deren kommerzielle Nutzung erwirbt - sprich er kann die NFT-Animationen oder Bilder in der eigenen Bar, einem Studio oder seinen Geschäftsräumen laufen lassen, sie ausdrucken und sich an die Wand hängen - nur darf er sie nicht als eigenen Token weiterverkaufen. NFT Showrooms schreibt hierzu auch:
'Limited Reproduction Rights' means the artist is selling the full commercial rights to the reproducibility of the art. This means the buyer can use the art for commercial projects, which could include making prints, t-shirt designs, website/blog graphics, etc. This does not mean that the purchaser could sell their own secondary licenses for the piece, or could retokenize it themselves.
Doch kommen wir zurück zur eingangs gestellten Frage, die da lautet:
Wer ist eigentlich Allan Linder?
Denn diese Frage stellte ich mir als ich beim durchstöbern des NFT Showrooms auf seine digitalen Kunstwerke gestoßen bin, die ich faszinierend finde. Professionell gemachte Animationen mit tonaler Untermalung führen den Zuschauer in eine Welt, die irgendwo in der Zukunft liegt und sich scheinbar im New York City, der Stadt der Unversöhnlichen, abspielt. Das obige Bild stammt von einem der fünf NFTs von Taxi Cab die @janasilver und @indextrader24 bei Alan Linder für eine Hand voll Hive erworben haben. Warum fünf? Weil sie meines Erachtens spottbillig für ein Allan Linder Kunstwerk sind.
Der Taxi Cab NFT scheint laut Angaben des Künstlers aus der Number 1 der Unforgiving City Serie zu stammen. Ich empfinde die Installation als hochgradig gelungen und sensationell gut. Dies hat dazu geführt, dass ich versucht habe heraus zu finden wer sich eigentlich hinter Allan Linder verbirgt.
Scheinbar handelt es sich bei Allan Linder um einen in New York City lebenden Künstler von internationalem Format, der unter anderem Ausstellungen in Brasilien (Sao Paolo), Frankreich (Paris), Deutschland (Hamburg) und in Spanien (Barcelona) bereits gemacht hat.
Um mehr über diesen 55 jährigen Artisten heraus zu finden muss man weiter durch das Web der Künste stöbern. Dort erfährt man unter anderem, dass Allan Linder 16 Jahre seines Lebens auf ein Comic verwendet hat, das als Prisoners of the Mind in New York City der Zukunft spielt und mit dem er sich zu Lebzeiten bereits ein Denkmal in der Welt der Künste gestellt hat.
Die englische Wikipedia schreibt unter anderem, dass Allan Linder zwischen 1979 und 1995 als Alan Shaw vornehmlich an der Westküste der USA in Los Angelos aktiv war und erst ab dem Jahre 2000 in New York City aktiv wurde, in der Stadt die niemals schläft und in der nur der Erfolg hat, der wirklich gut ist in dem was er macht.
An anderer Stelle findet man heraus, dass Allan Linder die meisten seiner Kunstwerke nach Amerika verkauft hat. Auf Instagram hat er mehr als 82000 Follower.
´Getting there´ von Allan Linder als NFT kostet mehr als 1.2 Millionen US-Dollar...
Das teuerste Bild was ich von Allan Linder gefunden habe kostet auf Open Sea 272 Ether oder umgerechnet mehr als 1.2 Millionen US-Dollar. Für die Animationen aus der Unforgiven Collection muss man auf OpenSea als NFT für zwischen rund 45 USD und 280 USD gegenwärtig auf den Tisch legen.
Hier auf Hive bezahlt im NFTShowroom nur einen Bruchteil für die Werke dieses scheinbar international bekannt gewordenen Künstlers, der vor allem in den USA viele Anhänger zu haben scheint.
Das beste daran ist, dass mit dem NFT zu Taxi Cab oder auch Sniper Allan Linder an den NFT die Erstausgabe von Prisoner of the Mind mit an den Non-Fungible Token beigefügt hat.
Geniale Kunst auf einer genialen Chain von internationalem Format. Einfach sensationell. Kein Wunder, dass eine Künstlerin offenbar hin und weggerissen war, als Allan Linder ihr auf Hive einen ihrer NFTs abkaufte, was sie dazu veranlasste ihm einen eigenen NFT zu schenken und mit dem folgenden Kommentar zu versehen:
On Friday 23rd July 2021 I got the most fantastic surprise as I discovered that @allanlinder - A NYC based artist, (who's work is absolutely exceptional I might add) had bought my "Karma Screams" piece. I was over the moon having my work not only purchased but APPRECIATED by such an exceptional and clearly very well established artist! I wanted to give a show of my gratitude to Allan and thought that gifting him with a personal piece would be the way to go. I had a good gander at all of his work, style, tastes etc. all of which appear incredibly eclectic - so I threw caution to the wind and just went with my gut. On Allan's Twitter profile (and one or two of his other online spaces) he uses the bio "Crowded City, Spacious Mind" which presumably refers to him as an artist based in NYC. That one-liner stuck in my mind and I decided it would be the perfect catalyst for his gifted NFT. So here is my "thank you" Allan - which is a very heartfelt one. You brought me confidence at the very beginning of a new journey in my life - one which I am incredibly excited about and that is a moment I will never forget. ............................ Each piece of art I create holds strong purpose and symbolism to me personally, but art is a universal language, therefore I let my creations speak for themselves - uniquely, to each individual... interpretation transforming and growing with each new set of eyes met
Ich glaube dieses Statement über Allan Linder als Ausnahmekünstler, der nun auch auf der HIVE Blockchain angekommen ist, steht für sich und bedarf keiner keiner weiteren Ergänzungen.
Happy Tuesday!

through a gift from @caro-art and @wulff-media to @balte I became aware of the ingenious Hive Frontend nftshowrooms only about ten days ago.
That there are numerous artists and artists here on the Hive Blockchain, I had noticed for some time, but that they already have their own front end for some time on the artwork in the form of Nonfungible Tokens (NFTs) with Hive.swap can be purchased, is then but an ingenious concept, which enriches the HIVE chain enormously.
The introduction of the nftShowroom frontend represents an important step in the evolution of the international art scene as well as the Hive Chain - not only from the point of view of the artists, but also from the point of view of the art lovers, who can now freely marvel at partly sensational artworks in virtual galleries and, if desired, also purchase them - mostly for private use.
Some artists and providers of NFT's also offer them with limited reproduction rights. Limited Reproductions means that the owner of the NFT artwork acquires the rights for their commercial use - meaning he can run the NFT animations or images in his own bar, studio or business premises, print them out and hang them on his wall - only he is not allowed to resell them as his own token. NFT Showrooms also writes about this:
'Limited Reproduction Rights' means the artist is selling the full commercial rights to the reproducibility of the art. This means the buyer can use the art for commercial projects, which could include making prints, t-shirt designs, website/blog graphics, etc. This does not mean that the purchaser could sell their own secondary licenses for the piece, or could retokenize it themselves.
But let's get back to the question posed at the beginning, which is:
Who is Allan Linder anyway?
Because that's the question I asked myself when I came across his digital artwork while browsing the NFT showroom, which I find fascinating. Professionally done animations with soundtrack take the viewer to a world somewhere in the future, seemingly taking place in New York City, the city of the unforgiving. The image above is from one of the five NFTs of Taxi Cab that @janasilver and @indextrader24 acquired from Alan Linder for a handful of hive. Why five? Because they are, in my opinion, dirt cheap for an Allan Linder work of art.
The Taxi Cab NFT appears to be from Number 1 of the Unforgiving City series according to the artist. I find the installation to be highly accomplished and sensationally good. This has led me to try to find out who is actually behind Allan Linder.
Apparently Allan Linder is a New York City-based artist of international stature who has exhibited in Brazil (Sao Paolo), France (Paris), Germany (Hamburg) and Spain (Barcelona).
To find out more about this 55 year old artist, one must continue to browse the web of the arts. There one learns among other things that Allan Linder spent 16 years of his life on a comic, which is set as Prisoners of the Mind in New York City of the future and with which he has already made a monument to himself in the world of the arts during his lifetime.
The English Wikipedia writes among other things that Allan Linder was active between 1979 and 1995 as Alan Shaw mainly on the west coast of the USA in Los Angelos and became active only starting from the year 2000 in New York City, in the city which never sleeps and in which only that has success, which is really good in that which it makes.
Elsewhere you find out that Allan Linder has sold most of his artwork to America. On Instagram he has more than 82000 followers.
'Getting there' by Allan Linder as NFT costs more than 1.2 million US dollars...
The most expensive image I found of Allan Linder costs 272 Ether on Open Sea, or the equivalent of more than 1.2 million US dollars. For the animations from the Unforgiven Collection you have to put on the table on OpenSea as NFT for between about 45 USD and 280 USD currently.
Here on Hive, in the NFTShowroom, you pay only a fraction for the works of this seemingly internationally renowned artist, who seems to have many followers, especially in the US.
The best part is that with the NFT to Taxi Cab or even Sniper Allan Linder attached to the NFT the first edition of Prisoner of the Mind with to the Non-Fungible Token.
Ingenious art on an ingenious chain of international format. Simply sensational. No wonder an artist was apparently blown away when Allan Linder bought one of her NFTs from her on Hive, prompting her to give him an NFT of her own and add the following comment:
On Friday 23rd July 2021 I got the most fantastic surprise as I discovered that @allanlinder - A NYC based artist, (who's work is absolutely exceptional I might add) had bought my "Karma Screams" piece.

I think this statement about Allan Linder as an exceptional artist, who has now also arrived on the HIVE Blockchain, stands for itself and needs no further additions.
Happy Tuesday!
