NOTA BENE: This Week in the Art World

NOTA BENE is the podcast version of a boozy lunch at Sant Ambroeus in which adviser Benjamin Godsill and Vanity Fair art columnist Nate Freeman dish fresh art world gossip from Dimes Square to Mayfair, peel back the curtain on auctions, galleries and fairs—and, critically, tell you where to eat and drink in every museum-stuffed port of call. Plus there’s a special guest each week, and we’ll roast them good regardless of how much clout they carry on the circuit. It’s NOTA BENE. Don’t close the deal until you tune in.

    London! With Special Guest Jonas Wood AND FAMILY

    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! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/benjamin-godsill/support
