It’s been a really dizzyingly busy October, and as is customary, we are ending the month by talking about three of the biggest topics. I think we have a palette of stories that gives a sense of how head-spinning it was.
First, we are going to talk about one of the biggest stories in the world, the $102 million jewel heist at France’s Louvre museum, which has transfixed the public.
Second, it’s been a busy few weeks in the European art world on top the Louvre heist, with both Art Basel Paris and Frieze London. Our reporters were there so we are going to check in on what the news from the art biz is.
And third, we’ll talk about the new Sora 2 app, an all-A.I. TikTok clone that isn’t public yet but is at the top of the app charts. I got a chance to try it out and looked at it. An artist I know called it “the death of video art.” Is it that bad or that good? What does it mean for art? We’ll talk about that too.
I am joined as is custom by Artnet’s senior editor and Art Angle co-host Kate Brown, in Berlin, alongside European news reporter Jo Lawson-Tancred.
