The Week in Art

Each week, the editors and correspondents of The Week in Art gather to look beyond the headlines of the art world. Hosted by Ben Luke, this The Art Newspaper production digs into the stories that matter, whether it’s a major museum opening, a controversial auction result, or a shifting cultural policy. The conversation moves seamlessly from the global art market’s latest trends to intimate discussions about a powerful exhibition on the other side of the world. Regular interviews with artists, curators, and critics provide a layer of depth you won’t find in a standard news report, offering genuine context and expert analysis. It’s like being in the room for an informed, lively briefing with people who truly know the landscape. While the pace is brisk, covering a lot of ground in each episode, the tone remains engaging and accessible, never losing sight of the passion that drives the visual arts. This award-winning podcast serves as an essential audio companion for anyone who wants to understand not just what’s happening, but why it’s significant. You’ll come away from each episode with a clearer picture of the forces shaping contemporary culture, all delivered with the authority and insight you’d expect from the leading publication in the field.
