Raphael is one of those names that everyone knows. He is the prince of painters, a master of the High Renaissance. And the Metropolitan Museum of Art has given him the full blockbuster treatment in a highly anticipated exhibition called "Raphael: Sublime Poetry." The show is the first comprehensive international loan exhibition ever dedicated to him in the United States. There are 237 works in total—33 paintings, 142 drawings—and his Sistine Chapel tapestries. There are loans from the Louvre, the Vatican Museums, the Prado, the Uffizi, and the British Museum. Many of these works, according to the Met, have never been shown together, and some have never previously left Europe. Curated by Carmen C. Bambach, it took 17 years to assemble. No one quite captured divine beauty like Raphael did. But what is the story within the story of this artist who left indelible mark on western art? Kate Brown is joined by art critic and podcast co-host Ben Davis, who has just published a review of the exhibition, to dive into that question.

For the latest edition of the Artnet Intelligence Report, which is now free to download, Artnet columnist Katya Kazakina wrote a wide-ranging cover story about the state of play in the art industry. Titled “New Money, New Taste,” it charts a revolution that is underway in the market, amid what has been dubbed the Great Wealth Transfer. Economists, Kazakina reports, believe that $84 trillion in assets will change hands over the next 20 years—that's trillion... with a T. Gen Xers will inherit $30 trillion, millennials $27 trillion, and Gen Zers $11 trillion, according to one study. (Huge amounts of money!) She writes, "Their values, taste, and investment decisions will help determine the next cohort of top artists—who's in and who's out, who will endure and who will not." Could longstanding kings of auction houses, like Andy Warhol and Pablo Picasso, be dethroned? Will new names—and new types of material—arise to take their place? Everyone is guessing, aiming to protect their assets while angling for business. All of this is happening against the backdrop of an art market marked by intense uncertainty, following some very tough years, as data in the Intelligence Report shows. The whole industry feels unsettled and off-kilter, and firms of all sizes are trying to figure out how to navigate the situation. This week on the podcast, Editor of Artnet News Pro, Andrew Russeth, speaks to Kazakina about her reporting.

If you've been keeping an eye on the art market, you know that the industry has been going through some turbulent times... there's really no other way to say it: It's been a tough year, as the frothy post-pandemic surge in the art business has fully retreated. Amid this market slowdown comes our latest data-packed and information-rich issue of the Mid-Year Intelligence Report, which is appropriately titled The Art Market Reset: Riding the Waves of Change. This Fall issue looks at the numbers behind the mood, and it is packed with relevant insights that will help buyers, sellers, and spectators make informed decisions in the months ahead. Katya Kazakina, Artnet's award-winning columnist who pens a weekly art market column called The Art Detective is joining Art Angle co-host Kate Brown on the podcast this week to discuss her must read cover story for the new Intelligence Report. In it, she investigates what led to the sharp drop in the demand for art, as well as resale values for once coveted pieces. They discuss how the data reveals a market in free fall, where galleries have been faced with cost-cutting measures, or are shuttering altogether. There are some silver linings in her story, as Katya examines the smart responses that are being made across the industry, revealing how sales tactics are evolving and why some people actually believe that a slowdown in art production is not a bad thing altogether. Before we get to that, a few more words about the rest of the report. Our illuminating By the Numbers section details how, as compared with last year, there has been a substantial drop in money being spent on Ultra Contemporary art, a downturn in the sales generated by the big three auction houses (Sotheby's, Christie's, and Phillips), fewer artworks selling publicly for over $10 million, and the average price of art at auction is also going down. You can find specific breakdowns in the actual report. What does it all mean though? News editor Margaret Carrigan, gives a spin-free analysis of the auction stats. Also in this issue, our Editor in Chief Naomi Rea, spoke with Art Basel Paris Fair Director Clément Delépine about what to expect at the revamped art fair, which is moving back into the Grand Palais next month. Our market reporter, Eileen Kinsella, spoke to Sotheby's Phyllis Kao about how the secondary market is adjusting its working processes amid the flux, and our marketplace section brings you the stories behind the top selling works, and the scoop on artists whose markets are on the rise. Even amid this slump, Artnet's esteemed reporters and editors have worked hard and put together an excellent issue that will help you navigate the current art market season, where the road ahead feels anything but clear.

On the morning of August 1, 1966, twenty-five-year-old Charles Whitman arrived at the University of Texas Austin campus a little before noon, carrying with him several rifles, pistols, and a shotgun contained within a military footlocker. After talking his way past a guard, Whitman climbed to the twenty eighth floor of the campus clocktower and walked out onto the observation deck, then began firing at the people on the ground below. In the span of a just over an hour and half, Charles Whitman killed fifteen people and wounded thirty-one others before finally being shot and killed by a police officer who'd managed to make his way to the top of the tower. Investigators later learned that, prior to arriving on the UT campus, Whitman had also murdered his mother and his wife.In 1966, mass shootings were virtually unheard of in the United States and Whitman's spree killing shocked the nation. By most accounts, Charles Whitman was the picture of an all-American man, which made his actions all the more confusing. He was well-liked, had a successful military career, a beautiful wife, and once out of the military, he began pursuing a college degree in preparation for the next phase of his life. But behind the façade of American middle-class success lurked a deeply troubled man whose personal history and acute medical problems would eventually go a long way to explaining his actions on the morning of August 1.Thank you to the incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research!ReferencesAustin American-Statesman. 1966.

Welcome back to the show! For this, the 12th issue of the BBAS Intelligence Report, we're absolutely honored to be joined in the studio by none other than the legendary Sean Cliver! Picked out of a pool of more than 600 applicants to answer a 1988 Powell Peralta “artist wanted” ad, Sean packed his bags for a one-way trip to California where he spent three years creating some of the most revered graphics in the company's history, ably filling the impossibly large shoes of the recently-retired VCJ before moving on to a storied career as an artist, author, TV and movie producer, and eventual skateboard company owner. In addition to taking us through the whole story of his time at Powell HQ from beginning to end- leaving no stone unturned- we discussed nearly every graphic Sean designed for the ‘Brigade during his stint at the drawing table, and tons more. It's almost time for this week's design review- so join us, shall you? Strangelove Skateboards is offering our listeners 50% off their art prints!

June 15, 2024 | Weekend Drive: Retail intelligence report; ballooning inventories by Automotive News
A few years back, electrifying bidding wars and monumental transactions routinely had us all on the edge of our seats in the auction room, but this sort of in-room excitement now feels a long way off. Although you wouldn't necessarily know it from the triumphant post-sale press releases that are just as routinely put out by the auction houses who are keen to signal confidence in the market and, of course, in their performance. But in 2023, there's no denying that the art market finally came back down to earth. It took a breather for a combination of reasons, including rising interest rates, geopolitical uncertainty, and let's not forget the crypto crash. But the point is not to wax poetic about the state of the art market because Artnet's Intelligence Report is all about data, and we have the numbers to back it up. Let's refresh with some top line figures: The average price of a fine artwork sold at auction last year dropped almost 16 percent from 2022. Total fine arts sales generated by the big three auction houses—that's Sotheby's, Christie's, and Phillips—dropped 23 percent year over year. And the total spent on fine art at auction in 2023 is down 12.7 percent. This week we have two speakers here to pull back the curtain on the findings of the latest Intelligence Report, from a conversation first recorded exclusively for Artnet Pro members. First, is Artnet's investigative journalist Katya Kazakina, who won a 2023 National Arts and Entertainment award from the Los Angeles Press Club for her cover story of the last Intelligence Report. Her feature story this time around is just as fascinating. It delves into the Oscar-worthy performances of those very auction houses. To the casual observer (and often, even to those in the art world) it's not that obvious how the houses carefully stage manage their proceedings and, sometimes, even the results. The practice has become all the more insidious following the repeal of a set of laws governing the auction houses in New York City. The second guest this week is Margaret Carrigan, another sharp market mind and the editor behind our insightful Artnet Pro newsletter "The Back Room." Read the full story at the heart of Katya and Margaret's conversation, and the entire Intelligence Report, now.
In last week's show, we reported on the Chinese spy—Qiu Xiangguo—who stole lethal, man-made viruses from the Canadian government's flagship lab in Winnipeg. Notably, Qiu's point of contact in China was the Wuhan Institute of Virology—the same lab where COVID was most likely created. In a continuation of that story, this week we will delve into the issue of what the spy story tells us about the connections between the Wuhan lab and the Chinese military—connections that we suspected, but were never quite able to pinpoint. Well, now we are. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV
Welcome back to the show! For this- our eleventh installment of the Intelligence Report series- we are honored to be joined in the studio by the legendary Sophie Bourgeois! Aside from being known far and wide in the Bones Brigade universe for her short but memorable interview and freestyle segment alongside Anita Tessensohn and Lori Rigsby in 1988's Public Domain, Sophie has a long and fascinating tale that is deeply rooted in skateboarding history. From her early days as one of Canada's top female skateboarders in the late 1970's to championship wins, meeting Kevin Harris, moving to the US, her two-year relationship with Rodney Mullen, filming with Stacy Peralta, injuries, comebacks, and the eventual bowing out for a career in academics and aviation- we cover it all and then some. As you undoubtedly know by now, these are stories you'll only get to hear if you are tuned into The Bones Brigade Audio Show, so watch out for them snakes and join us, shall you?

Joining us to celebrate the occasion is the one and only Colin McKay, who sat down with us in the studio for an incredible retrospective discussion on his formative career with Powell Peralta. We get into his origins of skateboarding in the Great White North, the various incarnations of the legendary Richmond Skate Ranch, the lasting impact of Expo '86, every single one of his multiple Bones Brigade video parts, touring with Tony Hawk, and everything in between. And- as if that weren't enough- our good friend (and episode 25 special guest) Anita Tessensohn dropped by to hang out for a bit and give the low-down on her recent surprise induction into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame.

The Chillingly Precise Intelligence Report on the Planned Hamas Attack That Was Ignored by Ian Masters
"The Al Cuppett Intelligence Report" / Al Cuppett / Omegaman Episode 2 Recorded 6-23-2010 on OMEGAMAN
In the summer of 2020, Lawfare's editor in chief Benjamin Wittes found out that he had been the subject of intelligence reports compiled by the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Intelligence and Analysis. It was a bizarre but troubling revelation, and it raised a lot of questions, not only about the propriety of those reports but also about the practice in general. Who else was I&A compiling intelligence reports about and on what basis? So, Ben filed a FOIA request and subsequently a lawsuit in hopes of getting some answers. He's written about this matter for Lawfare a number of times, including in an update published yesterday.Lawfare executive editor Natalie Orpett sat down with Ben to talk through it all. They discussed the background of the case, why so-called open source intelligence reports can be so dangerous, and what we've learned about DHS over the course of the litigation.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.
