Art Dealer Diaries Podcast

This is the first podcast I've ever done that is just dedicated to a single piece of art, and the reason I chose to do that is the story. It took one year to make this painting. It's by Mathieu Nozieres and he's an artist that we represent, and Matthieu just wanted to take on this monumental creative task. I think as much to just say, I can do it, and it's called Two Worlds, and it's a train that is in the center, and it's depicts two different realities. If you can, go to the YouTube to watc...

This episode is a little different from one of my normal podcasts and one I would recommend watching on YouTube. I specifically talk about Carl Rungius and his paintings. The reason I wanted to do that is I had the opportunity to see the largest collection of his paintings, including ephemera from his studio at the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole Wyoming.

Sometimes a podcast is just meant to be. I feel that's the case with Justin Hess and Maria Im.

I just lifted it up and it's Mira Nakashima." I proceeded to tell her that I was going out to New Hope, PA to...

But he pushed past those boundaries of just strictly traditional Pueblo pottery and now he's doing these amazing contemporary sculptures. You see, Virgil's got this entire component of his...

I had this great podcast with Mira Nakashima and it was a really long one, so I broke it into two parts. This is the second part, and this was really where I walked through her facility in New Hope, PA and we go through these all these buildings. The first building is called the "pole barn" which has all this amazing storage of wood, which is really the reason that Mira continued her family legacy of woodworking because she really wanted to see the life of this wood through its journey,...
