09/22/21 • 54 min
In this episode we’re honored to have Ronnie K. Pirovino. Ronnie is a widely recognized art collector, curator and appraiser; his pursuits encompass entrepreneurial projects including NFTs. Notably, after his collection grew to prominence, he departed a successful career in digital advertising to focus on his passion for art. Pirovino has partnered with Christie’s on an ongoing series of auction sales, called “Trespassing.” As chief curator at LGND.art, he is consistently aiming for innovation at the intersection of art and technology. On Instagram, @pirovino shares his various endeavors to a wide range of audiences. Pirovino holds a B.S. in Communication with a minor in Art History from Northwestern.

How Ronnie was an early supporter/collector of Kaws who saw him rise from a bit of an outsider in the art world to a star and what lessons can be learned that apply to the NFT community
The story behind Ronnie’s “Trespassing” exhibit at Christie’s and what made him decide to include NFTs
How does he feel NFTs will redefine the fine art community
Does he feel purists in the fine art community are hesitant to support NFTs?

pplpleasr is an artist who first rose to prominence in the crypto space due to her viral animations for popular DeFi protocols like Aave and SushiSwap.

Since then, pleasrDAO has become a major player in the NFT space with high-profile purchases like Edward Snowden’s first NFT ($5+ million), the original Doge photo ($4+ million), Tor Project (nearly $2 million) and more.
