In this special episode of Art Smack, host Hilde takes you on a candid journey as she reflects on her evolution from a Hooters waitress to a prominent figure in the art world, all while heading to the 10th Christie's Art+Tech Summit at the iconic Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Join us on **July 16th and 17th** for this milestone two-day event that unites the realms of art, technology, entertainment, and business. The summit will feature a diverse lineup of founders, creators, investors, collectors, and thought leaders, all converging at the intersection of innovation.As Hilde navigates her thoughts en route to the conference, she delves into the commercialization and technological integration of art, questioning the sustainability and authenticity of today's art market dynamics. With a tone infused with curiosity and sardonic humor, she explores themes of nostalgia, the decentralization of Hollywood, and the often deceptive facade of success within the art industry. Tune in for an engaging discussion that challenges conventional perspectives and invites listeners to reflect on the future of art in a rapidly evolving landscape.
In this podcast, recorded in a New York City yellow cab weaving through traffic, the host recounts their delayed arrival from an airplane-themed perspective, shares thoughts on the oppressive city heat, and compares JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark airports. The discussion meanders into a detailed preview of upcoming art shows in the galleries of New York, reflecting a mix of enthusiasm and critique about commercial art. The narrative then pivots to a critique of the art industry, focusing on the high-profile move of Hauser & Wirth's owners from the UK to Switzerland amidst tax changes, finding dark humor in the logistics of art storage and LA's gentrification struggles. The monologue concludes with reflections on authenticity in art appreciation, emphasizing the value of personal connection over commercial validation.
In this segment of Art Smack, Hilde Lynn Helphenstein recounts her latest adventures in Georgia, from battling mold in historic hotels to exploring local art galleries. She stumbles upon a macabre painting titled 'The Sisters of Salem,' which intriguingly adds to her art collection. Hilde transitions between her personal anecdotes, such as bonding with her nephew and enduring the southern heat, to insightful observations about the commercialization of art. Critiquing how poorly art is marketed compared to luxury goods, Hilde advocates for more engaging, immersive art experiences. She emphasizes the importance of discovering art organically instead of relying on the conventional, often impersonal, art market mechanisms. Amidst these reflections, Hilde humorously navigates small-town charm, quirky shop offerings, and different religious practices, ultimately planning her departure to New York.
In this episode of Art Smack, Hilde recounts recent adventures and observations, blending anecdotes from a serendipitous discovery of a diamond bracelet on an airplane to the frustration of finding a yoga studio and the quirky charm of antique shops in Georgia. The adventure narrative dovetails into a critique of the contemporary art market's commercialization and the absurdities of maintaining multiple gallery locations and art fairs. Hilde underscores the need for a significant overhaul, more candid pricing strategies, and a shift toward authentic engagement and artistic weirdness, culminating in a call for more genuine, unfiltered experiences in the art world.Change is well underway, so who will radically adapt to not just keep up, but to get ahead and to a model that is financially viable and thriving?That is very much possible if people would stop complaining about doing all the fairs no one forced them to do and opening all the gallery locations no one forced them to do. Am I right?
In this episode of Art Smack, Hilde grapples with their own artistic identity while offering a vivid commentary on the rapidly changing art world. Struggling with doubts about continuing their podcast, they discuss an upcoming episode featuring Taylor Morrison, whom they liken to a compassionate, insightful contemporary art critic. The host emphasizes the transformative power of genuine engagement with art, contrasting it with the commodification and market-driven aspects prevalent today. As they critically reflect on industry shifts, such as Tim Blum closing his gallery due to disillusionment, they predict a future where the dematerialization of art and experiential engagements dominate. All of this unfolds during a rambling thrift store adventure in Georgia, peppered with personal anecdotes and reflections on the commercialization, accessibility, and the future of art.

The conversation also touches on significant shifts in the industry, including Ari Emanuel's acquisition of Frieze, Art Basel's expansion to Doha, and the merger of Artnet and Artsy under private equity. These changes reflect a landscape where financial interests are increasingly at the forefront.Throughout their discussion, Jerry and Magnus grapple with the delicate balance between commercialization and artistic integrity, shedding light on the evolving dynamics that are shaping the future of the art world.

In this episode, Hilde Lynn Helphenstein and Magnus Resch discuss the beautiful nebulous of what it feels like to truly love and connect with artists which in turn can amalgamate into a real, meaningful art collection.
Adam Lindemann stands as one of the art world's most dynamic forces, seamlessly bridging the realms of collecting, entrepreneurship, and gallery ownership through his renowned Venus Over Manhattan gallery. His trajectory from finance to becoming a pivotal figure in contemporary art has been marked by bold decisions and prescient insights, perhaps most notably captured in his influential book "Collecting Contemporary," where he turned the tables by interviewing other major collectors. His unique position as both a collector and gallerist has given him an invaluable dual perspective on the art market's mechanics and evolution. I was absolutely thrilled to have Adam join me on Art Smack, where he brought his characteristic candor and deep market knowledge to our discussion. During our engaging conversation, he shared fascinating insights about the current state of the art market, his collecting philosophy, and his vision for the future of traditional galleries in an increasingly digital age. One of the most memorable moments was when I couldn't resist asking him if Andy Warhol would have liked me, given Adam's personal connection to the iconic artist. His ability to articulate complex market dynamics while maintaining an authentic passion for art made him an exceptional guest, offering our audience a masterclass in how to navigate the contemporary art world with both business acumen and genuine appreciation for the medium. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jerrygogosian/support
Great news: WE FIXED OUR AUDIO SITUATION on Art Smack . This week Jerry dragged Matt to come on the podcast to not talk about art. Instead they discuss all of the things around the art i.e. The Substance, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Luigi Mangioni, "subtle foreshadowing" videos, those creepy drones all over the east coast, movies that opened our eyes as teenagers, and our collective hangover from GenX'ers like Peaches and Le Tigre. This is not a hard hitting episode about art. Opposite. Its a very dumb episode. Enjoy. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jerrygogosian/support
In a plot twist that shocked absolutely no one, the art world managed to keep spinning without its favorite commentator as Jerry Gogosian emerged from a 49-day digital sabbatical. Breaking her 18-year streak, Jerry (aka Hilde) skipped the glittering chaos of Art Basel Miami Beach and its satellite spectacles – proving that sometimes the best art move is no move at all. Enter Magnus Resch, Jerry's trusted confidant and art market savant, who arrives bearing tales from the trenches. With his signature analytical prowess and insider knowledge, Magnus catches Jerry up on the wheeling, dealing, and occasional art-world reeling she missed while offline. The conversation takes a delightfully cerebral turn as Jerry and Magnus explore the radical concept of "slow content consumption" (also known as reading books), dive into The Renaissance (the original art influencers), and discuss various consciousness-expanding practices – from yoga to Qi Gong – that don't involve staring at installation art through an iPhone screen. The episode culminates in Magnus challenging Jerry to reflect on what truly draws her to the art world – now that she's had time to miss the beautiful circus she usually chronicles. A refreshingly honest conversation about art, authenticity, and the unexpected joys of disconnecting from the digital matrix. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jerrygogosian/support
