The book is basically about how the noes went and stole all the art from rest of europe. What they dubbed degenerate art was, of course, the best stuff that guys like goring kept out there. So i have another question. Have you read the book, the rape of europa? Oh, yes, yes. Yes. And i mean, it's absolutely insane what happened.
Our guest this week is Madelaine D’Angelo, Co-founder and CEO of Arthena, the first quantitative investment firm for art assets. The firm uses hundreds of thousands of data points to identify the factors (artist, year of creation, gallery displays, etc.) that are predictive of future returns. In this wide-ranging conversation, Jim, Jamie, and Madelaine discuss:
