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.


In this episode we discuss:

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?

In the fine art world, who are the gatekeepers and what role do they play? How do NFTs tear down that paradigm and democratize fine art?

As an experienced collector, how does he determine which artists you want to support and collect?
