"Recently there has been some difficulties with that group, for whatever reason, it’s totally cruel."

That statement is fairly ambiguous and can be read a myriad of ways. Given that Stash was part of Krunk, I would tend to believe that he is referring to something else. Nevertheless, we should probably refrain from speculating or making what could be considered potentially defamatory statements in a public forum until/unless we learn the facts. Just my $.02

Thanks glltn for posting that interview. Fantastic read!

sold done.

That's some sale you got going there. Big clear out, hope it's for positive reasons but I fear you wouldn't be choosing to sell some of these pieces unless you felt you had to.

whats Krunk? Is Krunk the outfit run by pirovino dude from kidrobot?

I'm pretty sure that KRUNK doesn't exist anymore. If they do exist they certainly aren't a valid presence.

Regardless, Ronnie Pirovino is/was a toy collector who got into the art market a couple years ago by investing in KAWS. He's pretty hip to the local LA gallery scene and he's well liked in the community.

Here's his website: www.pirovinoprojex.com

He also blogs at www.dailydujour.com and runs the Art Collectors blog and forum.

Any signed McGee or Gemeos publications?

KRUNK, which I started, was a side-project, among four very distinguished individuals. We are pursuing interests outside the group at present. Among our accomplishments on record are Futura's most financially successful show (to date) in Sept. 2008 in LA (my hometown); release of the only serigraphs in Futura's career (to date) in Dec. 2008 ; and a highly regarded group show in Dubai in April of 2009. It's definitely true we had some issues with the print release (I wouldn't call it massive problems as the vast majority of people received their prints normally and a small minority who did not were dutifuly taken care of subsequently). The timing over the '08 holidays was effectively a major factor that worked against us. Our fulfillment agent had to deal with the fact that the public had a certain expectation for a rapid transaction. Regardless, I and the other members of the group are proud of what we did. Anyone is free to ask Lenny about his experience with me, personally, and the group as a whole. Every penny is/was accounted for and he came away with well into six figures from our engagements. We may re-focus our attention on the group in the future. It's an open end.

As for me, I continue with my KAWS collection with around 30 ORIGINALS. I've moved into a large new space and am in the process of displaying the whole holding. With my fulltime job as an interactive developer for a thriving, major agency, my time is at a premium. It's quickly turned into a part-time job to get everything ready for 'gallery quality' display - pedestals; framing; lighting; hanging, etc. That's what I'm focused on right now. I am actually documenting the process on my Facebook. There's several high-profile photographers interested in shooting the collection in 2010...I will choose to pursue my art 'presentation' interests outside of my collection at some point again...

Peace,

Ronnie Pirovino

Nigo.

A friend who is not on the forum is looking for some Futura art (he's not looking for any prints / toys / sneakers / decks).

Just original art.

So if anyone has anything please message me with pics + the price you're after and i'll pass the info on.

Or does anyone know any galleries with any work (already know about campbarbossa)?

Thanks

Get in touch with his guy as there was a Futura og at The Thousands show which might be for sale?

also, it might be worth contacting maharishi as they used to have quite a few left over from his show with them a few years back. Don't know if they will still have them since being taken over.

pm sent.
