Episode 22: Art Forgery in New York, How Not To Exclude Artist Parents, the NFT crypto art craze, and Jenny Holzer

We kick off this episode with a fresh co-hort of artist recommendations and documentaries to check out, including Netflix’s hit ‘Made You Look: A True Story of Fake Art’. The tale of $80 million worth of art forgeries in New York in the 90s and 00s was truly gripping and pretty shocking. We also discuss writer Hettie Judah’s campaign for how the art world can avoid excluding artist parents, and the upcoming sale of Karl Lagerfeld’s art collection with Sotheby's. Before we weigh into our Artist Focus, we try and tackle the burgeoning NFT crypto art craze and what it will mean for the art world. Finally, our art crush this episode is American Neo-Conceptual and Feminist artist Jenny Holzer. The main focus of her work is the delivery of words and ideas in public spaces, and she often comments on war time controversies and violence against women.
