NOTA BENE: This Week in the Art World

The boys are back. Benjamin and Nate meet up in NYC to discuss The Knicks, AI, Wylie Dufresne's new pizza spot, dinner with an artworld insider and an insane offer from the Independent Art Fair. We are then joined by arts journalist and confection aficionado Andrew Russeth who shares everything we missed at last week's Art Basel Hong Kong. All that and more on THE ONLY ART PODCAST!

Nate is back from la-la-land and rubbing shoulders with the A-List.  He tells us all about attending the Party of the Year (TM) and we discuss some recent art and meals back New York way. Of course we have to touch on what museum curator seems to have side hustle in helping patrons....  deaccession works from their collection via the private market.  We are then joined by Sarah Douglas, Editor-in-Chief, ARTnews and Art in America to discuss her life in the arts, the recent history and trajectory of art media AND some juicy gossip. All that AND MORE on the ONLY ART PODCAST. 

The Gents are back and in person together in the greatest city in the world. Benjamin and Nate report on a very special lunch in New York by St. JOHN sponsored by Drake's - it took Fergus and Co to get Mr. Godsill to Brooklyn. And of course all the gossip from the art world in London, New York, LA, Costa Rica and BEYOND. All that AND MORE on THE ONLY ART PODCAST

Nate and Benjamin report on all the events, gossip and art from Frieze Week (LA) 2023

Join Nate & Benjamin as we download our artword travels in the past week that took them to events in London, New York, Copenhagen and now finally back together in Los Angeles. In the second half we are joined by Frieze America’s director Christine Messineo to discuss all the exciting aspects of the Fair’s new Santa Monica location.

And we are (finally) back. Join Nate and Benjamin through a guided tour of all the openings and dinners in New York last week. We are then joined by one of the most amusing gentleman in the art-world, Ralph DeLuca. Ralph has been an obsessive collector of objects since childhood and is an expert in, and has one of the most significant collections of, vintage movie posters. In recent years Ralph's obsession moved to contemporary art, first as a collector and now as a respected advisor to bold faced names and publicly traded companies. Ralph is witty, honest, passionate and not afraid to call 'em like he sees 'em. You won't want to miss his stories and his hot takes. All that AND MORE on THE ONLY ART PODCAST. 

Nate and Benjamin are back! We report on food, friends and FOG in San Fransisco. Plus - terrible art advisor instagram. All that, AND MORE on THE ONLY ART PODCAST!

In this perfect episode Nate and Benjamin discuss recent meals at area hot spots. Plus: bawdy art and animatronic nonagenarians. All that and MORE on the ONLY ART PODCAST

Nate and Benjamin quickly recap the beginning of the New Year and are then joined by superstar journalists Charlotte Burns and Julia Halperin. Charlotte and Julia are the authors of The Burns Halpern Report, a deeply researched and data driven look at the state of representation in art institutions and the art market. By investigating museum acquisitions and  art auction results Halpern and Burns have key - and frankly depressing - answers about how reflective these key components of the public sphere are of the racial and gender make-up of the world we live in. We learn how they have assembled their data set, what they have discovered and some hopeful thoughts about how we might move towards a more equitable future. You won't want to miss this special episode. All that AND MORE on the ONLY ART PODCAST

Nate and Benjamin are back to say goodbye… to 2022. All of the holiday parties, all the food, all the vibes as 2022 fades to an end. All that and more on the ONLY ART PODCAST
