NOTA BENE: This Week in the Art World

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.

Come for the party reporting, stay for the discourse. On this episode the cultural critic and Spike Magazine New York Editor Dean Kissick joins Nate and Benjamin to fill them in on his early take on Cecilia Alemani's  THE MILK OF DREAMS, otherwise known as the 59th Biennale Arte. Dean and Nate are calling in from Venice to brief a (STILL) Covid positive Benjamin on everything he is missing, art party and fashion wise.  They cover the big show (of course), the vibe, the dearth of nightlife, Raf Simmons and so much more on THE ONLY ART PODCAST.

Oh no! A covid positive (and borderline despondent) Benjamin is stuck in NY while Nate phones it in from La Serenissima to tell us about everything he's seen (and eaten) in Venice.  Mary Weatherford, Stanley Whitney, Georg Baselitz and Anslem Kiefer are among the many offsite projects we cover PLUS the Biennale itself. This is the first installment of the wall-to-wall coverage of Venice that will happen this week on the ONLY ART PODCAST.

The boys discuss all the galas, the chicago art fair, hiz honor the super spreader, a royal hire at the met and get ready for Venice. They are then joined by Ramiken Crucible founder Mike Egan zooming in from Venice to discuss the genesis of his gallery program, his tips for Serenissima and so much more. All this on the ONLY ART PODCAST.

Join benjamin from new york and nate zooming in from Chicago in advance of the expo art fair as they discuss that city, gala Season in New York, gallery moves and gear up (literally) for Venice and the May auctions.  All that and (so much) more on the ONLY ART PODCAST.
