My good friend Monica and I discuss the relationship between art's intrinsic value and its worth on the marketplace, the relationship between critics and the longevity of a piece, what makes a true artist, and what the development of the meta-verse holds in store for the future of art and our ability to remain human.

We also discuss the specific piece: "Untitled: Portrait of Ross in L.A." by Felix Gonzales-Torres (1991).

Monica is the founder of Artists in Rise, an online art platform that emphasizes the importance of the artist residency network as an integral part of the contemporary art world.
