Modernism Norman Korpi Palm Springs

NORMAN KORPI GETS HIS INSPIRATION FROM UNEXPECTED PLACES

Our favorite artist, Norman Korpi, from the original cast of MTV’s The Real World, is currently displaying his latest work at Palm Springs Modernism Week and it is, indeed, modern to say the least! He was inspired by paint chip colors and the names companies give them, and created his own colorful collection of work based on revising the titles. He also put together a 200 page art book (Techno-Color Reflections) currently on Kickstarter, to be released in 2024. The book and “Paintings” (still in their liquid state in the cans!) are on display at PEEPAS on Palm Canyon Drive. You have to see it to believe it. And Norm will be there IN PERSON today! Out of town fans can visit www.peepasps.com. Can you afford Norm’s outrageous new art? Maybe… give it a look.

HOA Kourtney Kardashian Palm Springs Politics

KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN’S POLITICAL ASIRATIONS

Kourtney Kardashian is throwing her hat in the political ring and running for President… of her HOA. Kourtney owns a $12 million home in The Madison Club, a residential community just outside of Palm Springs, California. Even though she purchased it as a weekend retreat, Kourtney pays tens of thousands a year in HOA dues, so she wants to get more involved in how the place is run. An insider explains that Kourtney intends to start spending more time there now that she’s married to Travis Barker. The home is on a Tom Fazio designed golf course (Tom is a world renowned architect who specializes in golf courses) and Travis LOVES to golf so that’s why they’re planning to spend more family time there.

Elvis Presley Mid Century Modern Palm Springs Real Estate

WE CAN’T STOP LOVING ELVIS’S PALM SPRINGS HOUSE

The house that Elvis Presley and his bride Priscilla occupied in 1966 to 1967 is up for sale in Palm Springs again. The mid-century structure is gorgeous – it consists of three round stories – there’s not a square corner in the whole place. Architect William Krisel designed the 4962 sq ft,4 bedroom 5 bath home in 1962, and all this magnificent house needs is a little love – and good taste. The tacky décor tries to look original but falls flat. The fireplace is a killer. Million dollar Listing realtors, the Altman brothers tried to sell the house for 8.5 million with no luck. It’s now listed at Trulia for less than 7 million. A loving restoration is in order.
