Season 7 of The Object starts March 24! Here, a special episode from the archives about Love and Art in capital letters.

When the young Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani moves to Paris, in the early 1900s, he soon meets a very talented (and very married) Russian poet. What happens when Love and Art come together, as the rest of the world is falling apart?

You can see one of Modigliani’s iconic Head sculptures, in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, here: https://collections.artsmia.org/art/1502/head-amedeo-modigliani

(Spoiler alert) You can see a close-up of the secret fossil discussed on the show here.
