🎙️: https://atlasgeographica.com/thomas-werner/

Thomas Werner is a teacher, consultant, artist, lecturer, author and former gallery owner in New York and an overall forceful figure in the international art community. 

He published ‘The Fashion Image’ in 2018, and is anticipating the release of his latest book on the business of fine art photography. 

This podcast is separated into two distinct parts, the first hour, Thomas’s experience in both Russia and China with the meta-theme on artistic expression between cultures. And then the second hour is the business side of things, everything from artificial scarcity to galleries to commerciality and more!
