NOTA BENE: This Week in the Art World

Nate and Benjamin are back to break down the end of summer blues and the upcoming season including a blockbuster estate sale at Christie's, shenanigans at an LA art-world canteen, and a profile of downtown's favorite fascist-adjacent PR.  We are then joined by David Kordansky, one of the most important gallerists of his generation, along with longtime friend and gallery artist Joel Mesler to discuss the Chinatown (LA) gallery scene in the early years of the 21st Century. David and Joel have a relationship that now spans twenty years across a variety of permutations and their knowledge of each other bring insights and laughs. Join us as David discusses having Joel as his first gallery landlord and they both reflect on some of the key personalities of this important moment in the evolution of the Los Angeles gallery scene. This is an incredible conversation including some revelatory stories that serve to highlight the import of Los Angeles as a hub of cultural production. You won't want to miss this. All that and MORE on THE ONLY ART PODCAST.

Nate and Benjamin return for a quick catch-up in these last quiet days before the fall season ramps up. Tune in for some delicious summer gossip. All that and more on the ONLY ART PODCAST. 

Nate and Benjamin are together again recording live to tape from beautiful Sag Harbor. We discuss summer sports and water hogs before transitioning to road rage and summer soirees. In the second half we are joined by Pace Gallery President and CEO Marc Glimcher to discuss the state of the art market, what he learned teaching science, the rise of Seoul and so much more. You will not want to miss this wide ranging and intimate conversation with one of the art world's leading gallerists.  All that and more on THE ONLY ART PODCAST!

And we are back with a solo nate-and-benjamin summer edition of Nota Bene. Nate and benjamin discuss a concert in Jones Beach and its attendant mafia, the flannel-clad art weekend, a new neighborhood in LA which we can exclusively report will house a noted chef's first projects outside NYC, the divorce that is the talk of downtown PLUS a lame attempt to serve an iconic London drink in Chelsea.  All that and more on the ONLY ART PODCAST

Nate and Benjamin are back to discuss all the goings on of the art world this week.  In the second half we are joined by gallerist David Lewis to discuss his new East Hampton space (featuring an incredible Tomás Esson exhibition), the genesis and evolution of his gallery, and so much more. It's a fascinating and fun chat you won't want to miss. All that, and more! on THE ONLY ART PODCAST.

Oh Baby! Nate had a Lady Baby. But paternity leave is over and we are back to cover all the scuttlebutt in the global art world. Live to tape from points east and north of the city the gents get back into the groove dishing on new fair hires, museum departures, gallery closings and so much more. Don't miss it on the ONLY ART PODCAST

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).
