In this episode of The Art Coaching Club Podcast, I sit down with Anna Barrington, author of the debut novel The Spectacle—a sharp, fast-paced social thriller inspired by real art world scandals.

Anna draws from her seven years working inside galleries, museums, and auction houses to give us a rare insider’s perspective on how power, money, and ambition collide in the art world. We discuss:

– Why galleries, museums, and auctions often resemble the finance world, with billions moving quietly behind closed doors
– The heated auction for The Spectacle and how its cover reveal landed exclusively in People magazine
– The allure of the charming conman, and why he feels like a uniquely modern figure
– Collecting art: what to know, and what separates the artist who succeeds from one who doesn’t
– How the art world reflects broader culture, from the Trump era to MeToo, cancel culture, and shifting politics

At the heart of The Spectacle is Ingrid, an aspiring artist pulled into the orbit of Rudolph Sullivan, a powerful figure whose debts and lies threaten to unravel everything. It’s a novel about art, ambition, and survival in a world where appearances mean everything.

If you’re fascinated by the intersection of art, money, and culture—or just love a gripping debut novel—this episode will be a favorite.
