Nate Freeman: Covering the Art World as Beau Monde

Nate Freeman writes a weekly art column for Vanity Fair. He made the evolution from art world reporter for ARTnews, Artsy and Artnet to writing a weekly gossip column that profiles the most interesting characters in the art world. In this podcast, we talk about how he writes his column, what he expects to see at Art Basel, the fusion of the art and fashion worlds, New York’s hippest neighborhood Dimes Square, the temperature of art market based upon the May sales, the return of Larry Gagosian to the gossip columns, competition between the big four galleries, the fate of tastemaker galleries and why everyone is attracted to the worst behavior in the art market.
