About this episode
Nate and Benjamin discuss a strange email from the R in LGDR that muddies the waters about what was billed as an important blue-chip gallery tie up and then the fascinating duel gallery shows by art-world iconoclast Ashley Bickerton, one at upstart O'Flaherty's and the other with his long time new york gallery Lehmann Maupin . They then talk about the most recent French Surrender and what it means for the future of art fairs in Paris. They are then joined by Noah Horowitz , a long time expert in the contemporary art market. Noah is currently a Senior Vice President & Worldwide Head of Gallery & Private Dealer Services at Sotheby's where he is rethinking how galleries and auction houses can collaborate (its less nefarious and more dynamic than you might think). He was previously the Head of the America's for Art Basel where he sat on the executive committee and oversaw all the fair's activities in the America's, most prominently Art Basel Miami. Most importantly he's a super-smart friend who is always thinking deeply about the future of the art market AND he has some great food recommendations for Basel in June. You won't want to miss this wide-ranging conversation.
