As always, the final episode of The Week in Art of the year is a review of the past 12 months. To look at the top stories, the big issues and the best art in 2025, host Ben Luke is joined by The Art Newspaper’s contemporary art correspondent, Louisa Buck, our art market editor, Kabir Jhala, and Ben Sutton, our editor-in-chief, Americas. We reflect on subjects from the Los Angeles wildfires in January, via President Trump’s raft of policies in relation to culture and heritage, to the crisis at the Louvre, the National Gallery in London’s expansion plans and their potential effect on the gallery’s relationship with Tate, and the fortunes of the art market, including the flight to the Middle East for art fairs and auction houses. Plus, the guests select their exhibitions and works of the year, including those by Kerry James Marshall, Helen Chadwick, Coco Fusco, Jack Whitten, Henri Matisse and Hamad Butt.
