NOTA BENE: This Week in the Art World

Benjamin is back from his European tour and fills Nate in on his Menorcan adventure featuring an exhibition of new work by Rashid Johnson at Hauser and Wirth, Menorca.  We talk air travel (lie flat and other), caviar bumps. We also cover a certain art world romance covered in the Wall Street Journal, Jeff Koons on Hydra and a bunch more. All this on THE ONLY ART PODCAST  

If it's June, It must be ArtBasel. Join Nate back in New York on baby-watch and Benjamin in Basel as they discuss all the parties and art on offer in Switzerland this week. We touch on Art Weekend Zurich, all the gallery dinners, the scores of dealers at the Three Kings, Kronenhalle and so much more. Benjamin is then joined by fellow art advisor James Michael Cardoso Schaeffer to discuss all the happenings from inside Basel itself as well as the legendary Swiss Hospitality and generosity of spirit. All that and so much more on the ONLY ART PODCAST

You might want to save this one to listen to as you recline in the lie flat. Benjamin previews his upcoming trip to the Land of Milk and Honey for art weekend Zurich and ArtBasel's return to its traditional June dates AND his hop to the Balearic islands for a Rashid Johnson exhibition at Hauser & Wirth Menorca.   We also touch on art world news from Newport Beach, Dallas, an eagerly awaited upcoming show in NY (curated by two past guests of the pod) AND a rousing victory by the Vanity Fair softball team over WNYC. All that and more on the ONLY ART PODCAST

OH BABY!  It's another fantastic episode of the ONLY ART PODCAST, brought to you exclusively by Will Shott Jewelry.  Mills Morán and Benjamin are in Mexico City to install the exhibition Mr. Godsill curated, A Form of Magic at Morán Morán. As they wait (and wait and wait) for the artworks to clear out of customs they dial up Nate back in New York to catch-up. The three amigos discuss Benjamin's show (amazing, obvi) as well as: Gallery Dogs, the low-key best dish at Contramar, Urs Fischer's EPIC exhibition at Jumex, the fabulous restaurant Elly's and so much more. We then veer back to New York to discuss the White Columns benefit, the opening of new downtown sushi spot TIME and the cursed dim*s square hotel.  Edited and uploaded from 30,000 feet (in front of the wing, of course), the first few minutes are not audiophile magic but it clears up quickly (and you aren't listening to us for the sound quality anyway).

The boys gab about Frieze, auctions. gallery dinners and Gala's, PLUS Nate's scene report from the floor of the NYSE.  They are then joined (at the 39 minute mark) by the brilliant horologist Brynn Wallner proprietress of the growing Dimepiece media empire. We go over what dealers wear what watches, why Richard Mille is actually kind of cool, the allure of junkets and a whole bunch more. All that, and more on the ONLY ART PODCAST brought to you elusively by Will Shott Jewelry.

Ohhhh baby. It's another (exhausting) week in New York in this world we call art. Benjamin and Nate take a break from the sales rooms and cocktail parties to report on the auctions that were, the Frieze to be, as well as bad takes, dress codes and the downtown wedding to end all downtown weddings.  All that, and more on the ONLY ART PODCAST

After a quick recap of our epic miss on the Marilyn and some epic parties the gents are joined by one of the finest and most amusing minds in the game: Martin Klosterfelde. Recently appointed as the Director of Skarstedt Gallery based out of London, Martin has had a long history as a (rear direction) tank driver in the west german army, gallerist, auction house specialist, auctioneer, sailor and broker of major private sales. Martin is one of the most erudite and experienced minds in the game and he shares incredible stories from the trenches of this world we call art. You won’t want to miss this special episode of the ONLY ART PODCAST.

Buckle-up and batten down we have 2+ intense weeks of auctions ahead of us and we kick it all off with an in-depth look at the top lots of the season and what to expect. We are once again joined by market-expert Lock Kresler to dissect what's in store for us this week. We cover Christie's, Sotheby's and even Phillips. You will NOT want to miss this special episode of the ONLY ART PODCAST. 

The Met Gala is a Snooozefest but at least we have art fairs! On this episode, the boys are joined by White Columns Director, Manchester-bred god and all-around art world hero Matthew Higgs as we discuss the independent art fair, the groundbreaking efforts of alternative spaces in New York and why Taylor Swift is a genius.

Annnnnnd Benjamin is back from COVID and Nate is back from Venice and we have a lot to catch up on. Some final venice notes, Elaine Wynn's collection, Sotheby's Hong Kong sale, Bosco Sodi's expanding empire, and downtown moving more downtown. All that. And More! on the ONLY ART PODCAST.
