NOTA BENE: This Week in the Art World

Benjamin is back. In a special (and sadly Nate-free) episode we have occasion to sit down with Jonas Wood on the eve of his exhibition opening at Gagosian, London. Jonas and Benjamin discuss his recent travels, his new paintings and being a dad who's an artist. We also do our best Huberman impression and discuss our workout and recovery routines on the road. In a special, special twist we are then joined by Jonas' family - his wife the ceramicist Shio Kusaka and their awesome kids Momo and Kiki. Shio and the kids discuss what it's like to have themselves and their work depicted in Jonas' paintings and how much fun it is traveling as a family. All that, and more ON THE ONLY ART PODCAST!

The boys are in Chicago and podcasting from the iconic Wieners Circle! We briefly discuss our whirlwind day in Chicago before being joined by our friend Abby Pucker. Abby previews this coming Chicago Exhibition Weekend, as well as her role in founding GERTIE, a civic and cultural agency that aims to expand Chicago's creative economy. Abby comes from a long line of innovative cultural philanthropists and she has a thoughtful, grass-roots fueled take on how art and culture can inform the transformation of cities for all residents. Also she is super fun.

We are back. Join Nate and Benjamin for a quick catch-up on the traffic hell that is the United Nations General Assembly. Then, Benjamin finally breaks the self-imposed ban on NFT's on the pod to sit down with Matt Hall and John Watkinson, founders of Larva Labs and the creators of one of the earliest and most iconic NFTs - the Crypto Punks. We discuss their background, the blockchain and if NFTs are or are not art. We also get into a work of theirs that will be auctioned off this week on FairWarning with all proceeds going to charity. This wide-ranging interview was a long time coming and you won't want to miss it. ALL THAT AND MORE ON THE ONLY ART PODCAST!

We are back with a one-on-one pod with Nate and Benjamin. We talk BPS cuts, art events in Dallas and Los Angeles, big upcoming shows and BREAKING NEWS FROM THE GREATEST DELI IN ALL THE LAND. All that AND MORE on THE ONLY ART PODCAST!

Nate and Benjamin are back in the saddle (finally) to discuss a yuuuge week back in New York. We talk art fairs, gallery openings, fashion week and the US OPEN. We are then thrilled to be joined by Los Angeles gallerist Sebastian Gladstone along with an artist from his roster, Tristan Unrau. Sebastian has forgone any New York fairs this season and taken a short term lease on a downtown space for a series of exhibitions, the first of which is an exceptional solo show by Tristian. We discuss Sebastian's evolution as a gallerist, this innovative program in New York and then Tristian's intricate and seductive painting project. AND WE EVEN BREAK SOME NEWS. All that AND MORE on THE ONLY ART PODCAST!

Nate and Benjamin are together IN PERSON with a brand new episode. We begin by discussing Hamptons Do's and Don't as well as our busy social schedule out east. We are then joined by Sheri Pasquarella, executive director of THE CHURCH in Sag Harbor. We discuss Sheri's extensive history in the world of art and how she came to run this fairly new, thought already essential arts center. This is a fantastic conversation you won't want to miss. All that AND MORE on THE ONLY ART PODCAST.

And... Nate and Benjamin are back with a report on the state of Aspen and "out east" as well as the market. All that, and more. ON THE ONLY ART PODCAST.

And we are back. With reports from Provence and Wellfleet both this is a gossip filled episode you won't want to miss. All that and MORE on the ONLY ART PODCAST.

Welcome back to a special independence day edition of Nota Bene. Nate and Benjamin catch each other up on our recent travels and adventures in Maine, LA, Philly and Sag Harbor, discuss an incendiary letter by an art advisor to his clients on the state of the market and a goop houseguest that allegedly sh@t the bed. All that and more. ON THE ONLY ART PODCAST!

Welcome back to Nota Bene. First up, Benjamin recaps to Nate everything the scribe missed in Basel. Then we discuss the sad passing of an art world legend. All that, and MORE on THE ONLY ART PODCAST!
