Join us every week for an in-depth look at what matters most in museums, the art market, and much more, with input from our own writers and editors, as well as artists, curators, and other top experts in the field.
This week, the Art Angle is bcak with our monlty Round Up, featuring Artnet News Europe Editor Kate Brown, National Art Critic Ben Davis, and Global News Editor Naomi Rea.
After a whirlwind two weeks of back-to-back art fairs at Frieze London and Paris+, the writers discuss if Art Basel’s newest fair can usurp the flagship event in Basel as the most important art fair on the cultural calendar, and if Paris really has what it takes to be a “new” art market hub.
Next, Ben delves into the recent articles he wrote addressing why a critical analysis of “parasocial aesthetics” is so necessary, looking at the reaction to his review of the artist Devon Rodriguez on social media.
Finally, the trio consider the news that a new chemical compound was discovered in an analysis of paint from Leonardo’s Mona Lisa, part of a broader interest in the process of restoring major artworks.
