"We are selling a number of items from the Marxhausen studio which includes pieces he made or pieces he kept around for inspiration or traded for with other artists," said Evan Balleweg, CLA Operations Manager. "Notable pieces include a cosmic cube with his name engraved, a large stardust prototype, and the mosaic back door from his house. All proceeds will be used to renovate his studio."

Planned renovations include structural and aesthetic improvements to restore the studio into a workshop.
