It's September, and the art world is back to business. In this month's episode of the Art Angle Round-Up, we're diving into the stories making headlines from Buenos Aires to New York—and even into the fantastical worlds of Frank Frazetta. We start with a remarkable development out of Argentina, where a couple has been charged with concealing looted art. Then, we turn to the gallery scene, where art superstar Jeff Koons is once again on the move, returning to Gagosian after ditching Pace. And finally, we celebrate a record-breaking sale in the fantasy art market: Frazetta's iconic Conan the Barbarian painting Man Ape fetched $13.5 million, more than doubling his previous auction record. Joining Kate Brown to unpack these stories is co-host Ben Davis, along with returning art market expert Eileen Kinsella.

Fans of the Art Angle know our monthly Art Angle Round-Up, where Kate Brown and Ben Davis are usually joined by a writer to talk about three topics in art. For the early September week of art fairs in New York, we decided to mix it up with an experiment: a live edition of the Art Angle Round-Up, at Independent 20th Century. Our guest was the curator Matthew Higgs. He's the director of storied New York alternative art space White Columns; founding curatorial advisor to Independent; and—I'm really not just saying this—someone who's been on my shortlist of people to have on the show for a long time. Higgs is one of the most thoughtful observers of the art scene that you could to have a chat with. The house was packed for the live Saturday recording. Of course, we know that people listen to the show—but to see people actually turn out and to hear from listeners who have thoughts about it and want to talk about art and toss around ideas was very exciting. So, a big thank you to everyone who joined us in the audience. And of course thanks Independent 20th Century, and to Matthew for a lively and serious conversation.

I've always loved Brian Boucher's work and I was finally introduced to him by Ben Davis at the spectacular Zero Art Fair opening. Anyway, I immediately invited him to guest on the show. Doing research on Brian, I observed that in his writing, he was an art writer that often gave voice to the voiceless, writing in a compelling manner about issues at the intersection of art and social causes that might otherwise go unnoticed. This recent piece in ArtNet about a rediscovered David Wojnarowicz mural in Kentucky is a great example. The other observation I had about Brian is how he doesn't inject himself into his work or even his career. Unlike many other art writers, (NO JUDGEMENT) , you don't see him sipping drinks at lavish art parties, and dinners, although I am sure he's invited and likely attends them. Which spurred me on to find out why not—what in Brian's personality influences his work? I found out he was a drummer in a punk band, 2nd youngest of five boys and a hellofalot more. Cheers to Brian for being a good sport! Bio: Brian Boucher covers art-world news in New York. He has also written for publications such as the New York Times, Playboy, New York Magazine, Frieze, Art in America and ARTnews. He studied art history at Vassar College and Williams College.

Have you ever asked yourself: What do artists have to learn from the octopus? Maybe not—but the question is at the heart of the work of Miriam Simun, who currently has an exhibition about her Institute for Transhumanist Cephalopod Evolution at the art space Recess in Brooklyn. And it turns out the answer is mind-expanding. Almost literally. Simun's unusual art practice can be seen as part of a serious trend in recent years of artists exploring non-human thought of all kinds in the hopes of shifting our troubled relationship to the natural world. The centerpiece of Simun's show at Recess is a series of workshops titled “How to Become an Octopus (and sometime squid).” For these, the artist guides participants through a two-hour program of “psycho-physical” exercises she has developed over many years through collaborations with marine biologists, engineers, dancers, and synchronized swimmers. She's taught the method all over the world, and the description says the classes are “open to anyone curious about cephalopods, new ways of sensing, and expanding the definition of self”—an audience which included national art critic Ben Davis. He got in there to explore my cephalopod side, and for this week's Art Angle, we talk about Simun's art and what he took away from my experience in her workshop.

This week Bad at Sports goes full meta, talking about talking about art. We sit down with Ben Davis, National Art Critic for Artnet News and author of 9.5 Theses on Art and Class, to unpack the state of art criticism in 2025. Davis has been one of the sharpest voices charting the relationship between culture, economics, and media—at once insider, outsider, and always keeping his mom in mind. From the collapse of traditional publishing to the weird vacuum left by social media, Davis doesn't just describe the cracks in the system—he names them, theorizes them, and points to where something new might emerge. We talk ZIRP (zero-interest-rate phenomena), the rise of click-driven media, what AI means for art, and why communities matter more than markets.

If you want to know which artist is having the biggest year in museums, there is one name that springs to mind for me: Cara Romero. Since her first big breakout a decade ago at Santa Fe Indian Market, Romero has been steadily growing in influence. If you don't know it yet, her photo-based art is full of color, drama, and detail. It's sometimes funny, sometimes fantastical. And it moves between a variety of themes that are extremely important in museums right now: Indigenous identities, environmental concern, science fiction, and staged or set-up photography, to name a few. For that reason, Romero finds her work part of many surveys and touring exhibitions at the moment. She had this year a mid-career retrospective at the Hood Museum at Dartmouth, “Cara Romero: Panûpünüwügai,” meaning “Living Light.” She also has a two-person spotlight with her husband, the artist Diego Romero, called “Tales of Future Past,” currently at the Crocker art Museum in Sacramento. For someone who has risen to the very top of the museum circuit, Romero has had a unique career path and story. Join The Art Angle hosts Ben Davis and Kate Brown for a special live edition of The Round-Up with special guest Matthew Higgs at Independent 20th Century Art Fair on Saturday, September 6, at 5 p.m. in New York.

Ben Davis thinks the series versus the Mariners was the best series the Phillies have played in the last 5 years. Last night was the first game that Jose Alvarado has pitched in the MLB since he was suspended for PEDs. The fans at Citizen's Bank Park gave him a standing ovation. The 94 WIP Morning Show wasn't so happy with that idea. Rob Thomson in an interview last night said it was an 'honest mistake' and he was happy that the fans accepted him back. James and the Morning team think that what he did to the organization was selfish. Trea Turner has been a rock-star lately.
It seems as though the Phillies are rallying around Zack Wheeler and his injury since the news came out earlier this week that he has a blood clot in his shoulder and was placed on the IL. Since then, the Phillies have been playing well, even sweeping the Mariners last night with an 11-2 win. Trea Turner and Bryson Stott have been playing much better recently. Ben Davis, who joined the Morning Show in-studio, wonders if the Phillies are becoming the team they were meant to be. Jose Alvarado made his return to the MLB last night after being suspended for PEDs and was given a standing ovation at the stadium. The Morning Show questioned whether that felt right after he hurt the team. Hear some audio about Jalen Hurt's mindset coming out of camp and going into the season- it feels positive! Jon Ritchie was afraid that as a child, he was going to eat his childhood dog. Time's Yours and much more!
Ben Davis, who joined the 94 WIP Morning Show, believes the Phillies are coming into their own and becoming the team that they were built to be. Guys like Bryson Stott (who made a mechanical change to his swing) have been playing much better as of late which really gives the Phillies a boost. Trea Turner has been a standout recently for the Phillies as well. Nick Castellanos was not in the lineup last night. The Morning team plays some interesting audio of Rob Thomson explaining why.
Ben Davis, who joins the 94 WIP Morning Show, thinks this series versus the Seattle Mariners is the best series the Phillies have had in the past 5 years. It seems as though the Phillies truly are rallying around Zack Wheeler and his injury.
Ben Davis joins the 94 WIP Morning Show. He believes the Phillies are realizing that playing at this level is fleeting and they need to take advantage of how they are playing right now. He thinks this is what the Phillies can be.
The WIP Morning Team today will be made up of Ben Davis, James Seltzer, and Devan Kaney. They started the show by talking about the Phillies loss last night. Devan Kaney said she thinks the bats will be okay but she is scared of pitching and the bullpen. They discussed concerns looking forward towards the post season and broke down what will be discussed throughout the show. They listened to Aaron Nola returning to the Phillies lineup. They talk about how the Phillies will prepare for the games coming up, hopeful they can get back into the win column. The team listens to Time's Yours Calls and breaks down what to look for in the Phillies and Eagles this weekend. The WIP Morning Team discusses the Phillies outfield and who they believe should play every game. They also discuss the Philadelphia Eagles and if there is reason to be concerned about the team based on the joint practice they had with the Cleveland Browns. Next they analyzed if the Phillies should bring up prospects like Justin Crawford before the playoffs. They are joined by Eliot Shorr-Parks to talk about what they see in Eagles training camp. They listen and discuss two big interviews that took place. First it's Lane Johnson who announced if the Eagles win the Super Bowl he may retire after this season. They listen to Time's Yours as well.
The WIP Morning Team recaps Eagles training camp and highlights two major interviews: Lane Johnson hints he may retire if the Eagles win the Super Bowl, and Jordan Mailata reveals that “everyone is carrying an injury,” raising early-season concerns. They also discuss the Phillies' strong play since the trade deadline and debate whether that momentum is enough to secure a playoff spot.
