Description

Nate and Benjamin start off by chatting about their week in New York including Nate's pre-karaoke check-in with Lorde at Dr. Clark. Benjamin discusses his attendance of the reopening of the Met Opera for the premiere of Terence Blanchard’s “Fire Shut Up in My Bones” including an epic stop-and-chat with dealer and frequent pod foil Adam Lidemann and Rashid Johnson's exhibition on view at the opera house. 
The gents are then joined by ascoted collector and pontificator Alain Servais to briefly discuss a recent blow-up concerning comments he made about americans in basel before they move on to more interesting subjects such as his history collecting, the paramount importance of art over money, an earlier, smaller art world, and his favorite places to travel to see art.
All that, and more, only on Nota Bene. Don't transact until you've listened.

NOTA BENE is the podcast version of a boozy lunch at Sant Ambroeus in which adviser Benjamin Godsill and Vanity Fair art columnist Nate Freeman dish fresh art world gossip from Dimes Square to Mayfair, peel back the curtain on auctions, galleries and fairs—and, critically, tell you where to eat and drink in every museum-stuffed port of call. Plus there’s a special guest each week, and we’ll roast them good regardless of how much clout they carry on the circuit. It’s NOTA BENE. Don’t close the deal until you tune in.
