This March the Armory Show – one of New York’s essential art fairs – returns to Piers 92 and 94 in the city. Berry is the show’s executive director and joins us to discuss what’s coming up.
Robert Bound, Eddy Frankel and Ossian Ward discuss this year’s Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, Francis Bacon at the Gagosian and the responsibilities of an art critic.
Tate Britain is unveiling its first Vincent Van Gogh exhibition for more than 70 years, exploring his early adulthood spent in the UK and the events that saw him become one of the most famous artists in history.
Tate Britain has opened its first-ever photography retrospective: a 60-year survey of work by Don McCullin, famed for his depictions of conflict around the world. Robert Bound is joined by Zed Nelson, Kathlene Fox-Davies and Eddy Frankel to discuss it.
We discuss how artists keep from going stale and try to identify the secrets behind perfect choreography. Plus: the story of Madame Tussaud, the weekend papers and how to kick the January blues.
As Art Basel Miami Beach takes place in the US, we hear about some of the highlights from the art fair’s director Noah Horowitz, artist Abraham Cruzvillegas and gallerist Bree Zucker. Plus, Christmas reads with Libreria bookshop’s Paddy Butler, and we learn the backstory of classic tale ‘Aladdin’ with Yasmine Seale and Paulo Lemos Horta.
What can designers learn from artists – and where does one discipline end and the other begin? We sit down with Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson to find out. Plus: London-based watchmaker Uniform Wares on keeping time with the industry and our Fashion editor’s chat with a brand worth knowing.
As Asian Art in London hits full swing, we look at the art scene in the region. Plus: classical piano meets Pink Floyd, the lost houses of the estancia and vegan chef Shannon Martinez.
We head to The Store in London and immerse ourselves in its enormous new video art exhibition – a collaboration between The Vinyl Factory and The New Museum in New York. Robert Bound is joined by guests Francesca Gavin and Gareth Harris.
The celebrated Chicago-based artist, known for his figurative paintings depicting black figures using his signature black paint, sits down with Augustin Macellari to reflect on his early passion for painting, the influence of the European masters and the invisibility of black bodies in the western canon of art.
Musician and singer Róisín Murphy discusses her collaboration with producer Maurice Fulton and The Vinyl Factory. We also meet pioneering conceptual artist Mary Kelly to discuss her show ‘Face-to-Face’ and learn some of the more unusual stories from medical history with author Thomas Morris.
We discuss the underrepresentation of female artists in the commercial sector and look at the importance of theatres. Plus: dealing with global inequality, weekend papers and Kricket’s newest restaurant.
We explore how couples work together as artists and how art is helping with prisoners’ rehabilitation. Plus: how to waste less, the weekend papers and Manifesto Pizza.
We discuss how luxury brands are using art to reach new customers, meet a cellist-turned-artist and visit Cinnamon Kitchen as it celebrates its 10-year anniversary.
We meet some of the greatest minds from art, architecture and music. Plus: we analyse Chinese comedy, look at how a song changed advertising and head to a new avocado bar in London.
We look at how the asylum affected Vincent van Gogh with Martin Bailey, who has written a new book about the artist. Plus: indie publisher Charco Press, the world's best national parks and how to make a great restaurant.
A new gallery and arts venue called The Shed is opening in New York in April. The hook? It has a movable shell that can be adapted to suit different events.
Comic-book fans are mourning the passing of Stan Lee, who helped to make a niche industry popular and lucrative. We discuss the growing appreciation of graphics and ask whether comic-book illustrators are due more recognition.
