In 2012, Steve Green, billionaire and president of the Hobby Lobby chain of craft stores, announced a recent purchase of a Biblical artefact—a fragment of papyrus, just discovered, carrying lines from Paul's letter to the Romans, and dated to the second century CE. Noted scholar Roberta Mazza was stunned. When was this piece discovered, and how could Green acquire such a rare item? The answers, which Mazza spent the next ten years uncovering, came as a shock: the fragment had come from a famous collection held at Oxford University, and its rightful owners had no idea it had been sold. The letter to the Romans was not the only extraordinary piece in the Green collection. They soon announced newly recovered fragments from the Gospels and writings of Sappho. Dr. Mazza's quest to confirm the provenance of these priceless fragments revealed shadowy global networks that make big business of ancient manuscripts, from the Greens' Museum of the Bible and world-famous auction houses like Sotheby's and Christie's, to antique shops in Jerusalem and Istanbul, dealers on eBay, and into the collections of renowned museums and universities. Dr. Mazza's investigation informs her book, Stolen Fragments: Black Markets, Bad Faith, and the Illicit Trade in Ancient Artefacts (Redwood Press, 2024), and forces us to ask what happens when the supposed custodians of our ancient heritage act in ways that threaten to destroy it. Stolen Fragments illuminates how these recent dealings are not isolated events, but the inevitable result of longstanding colonial practices and the outcome of generations of scholars who have profited from extracting the cultural heritage of places they claim they wish to preserve. Where is the boundary between protection and exploitation, between scholarship and larceny? Our guest is: Dr. Roberta Mazza, who is Associate Professor of Papyrology at the University of Bologna. She previously held positions at the University of Manchester, where she was honorary curator of the Manchester Museum, and at the University of California, Berkeley. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who works as a developmental editor for scholars, and is the producer of the Academic Life podcast.

Christopher Peterson has been passionate about cars for as long as he can remember—probably even longer. A La Jolla native, he grew up surrounded by classic and exotic automobiles, dreaming of one day becoming a race car driver. This passion eventually led to a career spanning over 25 years in the collector car world. Straight out of high school, Chris joined Symbolic Motor Car Company, one of the leading dealerships for classic, exotic and competition cars. Over the years, he worked his way up from the parts department to Director of Sales and Marketing, developing a deep expertise in post-war European sports and competition cars, along with a talent for uncovering rare and historically significant automobiles. Today, Chris serves as a consultant for Sotheby's Motorsport and chairs the Motor Car Classic at the La Jolla Concours d'Elegance. His time is spent sourcing exceptional cars, helping collectors navigate the auction world, and ensuring automotive history is properly appreciated— or at the very least, not left to collect dust in a forgotten garage. A fourth-generation San Diegan, Chris comes from a family with deep ties to the region's business and automotive culture. His grandfather, Robert O. Peterson, founded Jack in the Box and pioneered the modern drive-thru restaurant. When he's not hunting for automotive treasures, Chris enjoys cooking, sailing, and occasionally restoring cars that he swears he'll finish one day.

Welcome back to another episode of Fratello On Air. This week, we discuss our feelings about revitalized watch brands. The retro trend has been strong for over a decade, meaning that long-dormant names have been brought back to life. Are all successful? Enjoy one of our lengthiest episodes yet. For our listeners, the watch content starts after 35 minutes.It's hard to think of a brand that hasn't returned to the market. For those of us who have collected watches for a long time, this would have been unimaginable 10 or 15 years ago. But are all revitalized watch brands a success? Hear our thoughts on the matter.HandgelenkskontrolleWe took a week off between episodes, meaning we have some catching up to do. Balazs mentions an upcoming Sotheby's auction featuring the first-ever jerseys from Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Mike talks about a recent 75th-anniversary event with Orient, and then it's on to a visit to the A. Lange & Söhne Berlin boutique, where Balazs spent two hours. We mention a recent evening at Phillips in London with amazing independent brands. For TV, we mention The White Lotus, Zero Day, A Murder At The End Of The World, and Adolescence. For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Balazs is wearing his Omega Dynamic 166.079 with a blue dial. Mike has chosen his Rolex Submariner 5513 "Maxi Dial" from 1979.Revitalized watch brandsFor our main topic, we discuss a small fraction of the existing revitalized watch brands. It's a timely subject with the announcement of Breitling's purchase of Gallet. We share our thoughts on the modern-day efforts of the following historic names:VertexNivada GrenchenBenrusExcelsior ParkAngelusUniversal GenèveKing SeikoA.

ART ELEVATES YOU EVERY DAY. Cécile Verdier is President of Christie's France. She graduated from Sciences Po and Art History at Paris IV, before spending 4 years at Christie's as Head of Valuations then moving to the 20th Century department, in parallel of taking the hammer for Christie's France since the inauguration sale in 2001. From 2008 to 2018, she was heading the 20th Century Design Department globally at Sotheby's and Vice President of the French office at the end of her tenure. In 2019, she came back to Christie's as President for France. “An auction house is rightly called a house, not an auction company. We are a home.” “You can hear English being spoken all over the city. Paris definitely became more international.” “There are no bad questions. “How much do you think it will cost?” is always a good question to ask.”

Episode 71 of ‘All About Art': Art in Hong Kong with Enid Tsui (in collaboration with Lund Humphries) In this episode, I sat down with Enid Tsui, author of Art in Hong Kong, a book recently published as part of the Hot Topics in the Art World Series by Lund Humphries and Sotheby's Institute of Art.The book offers a fascinating analysis of the history, current status and possible future of Hong Kong as an international art hub, written by a local journalist who has reported on the city's cultural landscape for many years.I speak to Enid about her experience as a journalist, and her current role as the Arts Editor for the South China Morning Post. I ask her about why she felt now was an important time to be writing this book on art in Hong Kong. We chat about her thoughts on the emergence of Art Basel Hong Kong, which started in 2012, along with the opening of the museum M+ in 2021 (to which she dedicates a whole chapter in her book).

Today's guest is founder of Anoma Watch, Matteo Violet-Vianello. Anoma isn't just a watch brand; it's a daring artistic statement that pushes the boundaries of what a watch can be. With its inaugural creation, the A1, Matteo has seamlessly merged influences as diverse as Charlotte Perriand's freeform tables, Brancusi's modernist sculptures, and the natural elegance of primitive tools & river stones. Anoma offers a rare intersection of profound design and accessibility—a gateway for collectors to engage with bold creativity typically reserved for galleries and museums.But Matteo's journey to Anoma doesn't come without tenure. From disassembling vintage watches as a child to handling some of the rarest pieces during his time at Sotheby's and A Collected Man, he has spent the better part of his life, not only immersed in the craft and culture of watches, but in the most coveted art, design, and architecture. Its these influences that converge in Anoma's ethos, where the idea always comes first, and reality is bent to bring it to life.We get a sneak peak into what lies ahead for the brand, the thoughtfulness behind Matteo's designs, and the evolving role of watches as both art objects and collectibles. So without further adieu, this is Matteo, founder of Anoma Watch, for Collectors Gene Radio.Anoma Watch - https://anomawatches.com/Anoma Watch Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/anomawatchCameron Steiner - https://www.instagram.com/cameronrosssteinerCollectors Gene - https://www.collectorsgene.com

En este episodio de Negocios Entre Pañales, Paola platicó con Eugenia Peralta, consultora de arte y fundadora de EP Art Consultant. Eugenia estudió arte contemporáneo en el Sotheby's Institute of Art en Nueva York, una pasión que lleva en la sangre gracias a su familia, con la que creció rodeada de arte. A lo largo de su carrera, ha trabajado en galerías y en subastas, y cuando se mudó a Miami en 2015, se sumergió en la escena artística de la ciudad. En 2020, decidió crear su propia consultoría con una misión muy clara: enseñar a sus clientes cómo comprar e invertir en arte de manera inteligente. En esta conversación, Paola y Eugenia desmitifican la idea de que el arte es solo para millonarios y ofrecen consejos prácticos para quienes no saben por dónde empezar. Hablan de la importancia de descubrir tu propio gusto, las diferencias entre el mercado primario y secundario, y por qué conocer la historia detrás de una obra (provenance) puede marcar la diferencia en su valor. También exploran cómo las redes sociales han abierto las puertas a artistas emergentes y cómo el arte puede convertirse en un legado familiar. Si alguna vez has pensado en diversificar tu portafolio con algo que también alimente tu alma, este episodio es para ti.

Alfredo Cramerotti and Auronda Scalera are a curatorial duo specialising in art and technology, dedicated to bridging digital and contemporary art.We either speak over-enthusiastically about AI or in fear of its impact on creativity. My guests stand somewhat in between, advocating for a better understanding of its potential as a tool which they base upon their experiences with artists. The latter have always been irreverent regarding technologies since pigment was blown onto a hand leaving its mysterious mark on a cave wall… So what happens now, with the metaverse, AI and virtual reality? Are these new exhibition spaces? And how to they affect the existing ones? Our discussion took us to lots of places, amongst which the installation created by artist duo Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst, THE CALL for the Serpentine, which enabled spectators to interact with an AI who had trained with choirs across the UK; we talk about artists who connect writing with sculpture, performance, and new technologies, such as Ana María Caballero, (who just sold a poem in an online auction of Bitcoin Ordinals inscriptions called Natively Digital, for 0.28 Bitcoin or $11,430 at Sotheby's), and much more. I also mention the great Jan Hopkins, an artist and writer based in Sheffield.Cramerotti and Scalera both teach at MA IESA University Paris & Kingston University London. They co-curated the Lumen Prize x Sotheby's plus this year and the Art Dubai Digital Section 2024. As a duo, they form the International Selection Committee of the Lumen Prize and work as nominators for the Maxxi-Bvlgari Prize for Digital Art. While co-directing Multiplicity-Art in Digital, an online platform promoting women artists with a focus on diversity and inclusion, they spearhead Web to Verse, a project dedicated to fostering research on the evolution of digital art from the 1960s to the present day.This multifaceted profile has led them to speak at prestigious events such as the UK House of Lords' All-Party Parliamentary Group, the House of Beautiful Business, the AI House (during the World Economic Forum), the Riyadh Art Program for the KSA Visual Art Commission. They have worked with the UK Government Art Collection, the British Council Visual Arts Acquisition Committee, the Italian Ministry of Culture for the Italian Council 2022-24 program, and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.Support Exhibitionistas:HOW CAN YOU CONTRIBUTE?  With a one-off donation Become a member.

At the age of 7, horse mad Andrea Rapke Knowles, was told by her father that if she stopped sucking her thumb he would buy her a pony. At the advice of a family friend with a beautiful barn on her property, a pony was chosen (a Welsh Cob terror name Gee Whiz), boarded with the friends and their training began. Shortly thereafter, they moved to Loma Alta, owned and run by Penny Wahler in Santa Cruz, California, and her first Warmblood was purchased to begin Children's Hunters / Equitation and a taste of horse shows. In 1989, they moved to G & G Stables in Los Angeles, CA with Rob Gage and Cyndi Grossman at LAEC. Quite a few amazing and life-changing horses took them around the state and beyond on the show circuit. Rob and Cyndi were amazing trainers and friends, as were the incredible assistant trainers, including Richard Spooner. Sadly, school took over and Andrea was then educated in Lugano, Switzerland and London, England, graduating with a double major in Art History and English Literature. Feeling passionately about the art business brought her to positions at Sotheby's, Christie's and Guggenheim, Asher, a NY & LA based art consultancy. Additionally, she received corporate training at WME & CAA in Los Angeles. Her love of art and design began in childhood where, at a young age, she was already attending auctions and picking fabrics and furnishings for her family's homes. This life-long interest led her to her first professional residential renovation in 2009, the creation of her own firm and the building of a business focused on true collaborations, a knowledge of the newest trends in design/build and a holistic and discrete approach to every venture. Now, she is bringing stable life back into the fold with work on Equine Residences throughout the US and abroad. She is involved in a multitude of charitable foundations focused on homelessness, animal care and rescue and childhood illness. She resides with her husband and two Jack Russell Terriers in Beverly Hills, California. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
