Welcome back to PART 5 of my series ‘Art of the Deal’ and the final episode of Season 3.

This time I'm taking you on a whistle-stop tour of the life of contemporary mega dealer Larry Gagosian.

Larry Gagosian, best known as the founder and owner of Gagosian Gallery, a now chain of 19 galleries and spaces across the world, is arguably one of the greatest living dealers ever to grace the art world .

In this episode I discuss Gagosian’s humble beginnings, his venture into the art world and a rise within in industry which is nothing short of sensational.

Enjoy!!

Thank you so much to everyone who has listened to the podcast. 

We’ll be back soon after a short and well deserved break!

Hello and welcome back. This week we have a great episode all about the history of Art Medals with British artist (and medal designer) Elliot Birt.

Art medals and artists whom design medals is certainly an unusual topic / medium of sculpture but a completely facinating one. Of there many benefits, they are also an incredibly accessible way to collect small scale sculptures.

Join Elliot and myself as we discuss the ins and outs of art medals, key artists who have worked in the medium and how it continues to this day!

Hello and welcome back to Jo’s Art History Podcast. Today I’m joined by artist Phil Barton to discuss the groundbreaking artist Gustave Metzger.

A pioneer of protest and political art activism, Metzger developed the concept of ⁠Auto-Destructive Art⁠ and the ⁠Art Strike⁠. He went on to forge a career which saw retrospectives held at TATE and The Serpentine Gallery.

Metzger is an artist I had not come across and found endlessly fascinating as my conversation with Phil went on. It’s an episode not to be missed. Thank you so much to Phil for being such a brilliant guest.

Hello and welcome back this week we are talking all thing Faves and Fauvism with British artist Loïs Cordelia. 

Fauvism  is a style of painting and an art movement that emerged in France at the beginning of the 20th century. It was the style of les Fauves (French for the wild beasts), a group of modern artists whose works emphasised painterly qualities and strong colour over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism.

Hello and welcome back to Jo’s Art History Podcast. This week I speak to artist Emma Hoten about the British Landscape painter, Fred  Cuming RA.

Fred is an artist I knew nothing about and, as I admit in the episode, would never really have paid attention to. But Emma’s passion for Fred’s work is infectious and I loved recording this episode with her.

It not only taught me about a British Landscape artist but it showed me that I too, pigeon hole the art I look at and make assumptions. It's always nice to broaden your horizons - no pun intended.  I hope you enjoy.

Why is art important? It's the question I ask every guest.
