NOTA BENE: This Week in the Art World

We are back; Nate missed his flight to Basel but Benjamin is joined by art advisor to the stars Meredith Darrow to discuss what they were looking forward to at ArtBasel which opened just hours ago. Stay tuned for a special Basel recap covering the market and the parties, dinners and events in the coming days.

Oh wow. What an episode. We are joined by our friend and artist Joel Mesler live from his just opened show on the upper east side at Levy Gorvy Dayan. Hear about his evolution, the "Summer of Joel" and the coming of J-AWS. All that and more on THE ONLY ART PODCAST.

We are FINALLY back after a week of self-goal techncial difficulties. BUT it was well worth the wait. After Nate and Benjamin jaw about the auction results we are joined by NYTIMES journalist Zachary Small to discuss those same auctions, the Christie's hack and... most importantly their new book, TOKEN SUPREMACY . To all those who have been advocating for us to cover NFTs here it is. The first and the last word on the subject. We hope you like it. All that AND MORE on THE ONLY ART PODCAST!

We are back with our biannual mega-episode exploring the major auction season in New York. As always for these in-depth looks we are joined by market expert, our friend Lock Kresler . Lock is a true subject matter expert and we get into all the lots, their consignors and what to expect as the three main houses gear up for their main spring sales week in new york. In the light of art market headwinds there is a ton at stake and we get into it all in this 1+ hour long episode. You won't want to raise your paddle until you have listened to this episode. Note that much like our friends in Rock Center we experienced some minor technical difficulties that are distracting but (hopefully) not rehabilitating. But hey, its a free podcast and at least we can say with confidence that none of your personal information was put at risk.

And we are BACK! Benjamin and Nate discuss Frieze NY 2024 and ALL the events in NYC last week. We are then joined by curator, writer, fashion icon and Gagosian employee Antwaun Sargent to discuss his career and current role in the art world. This is a fascinating and in depth interview with a key figure in the contemporary art market. All that AND MORE on THE ONLY ART PODCAST

Nate and Benjamin report on their last night on the canals and their harrowing evacuation from Venice. Have no fear though, the gents landed high and dry. This episode finds them reporting live from Positano where they are in residence at Le Sirenuse, probably the most magical hotel in the world. They find themselves ashore here to celebrate and inaugurate a magnificent tile mosaic the artist Nicolas Party has blessed the hotel's pool with. In the second half of the pod the boys are joined by Antonio Sersale, hotel owner and quite likley the best host in the world. Antonio briefs us on the history of the hotel, what it takes to be a great host and the genisis of their fantastic contemporary art collaborations and collection.
