Spring is upon us. March has seen a burst of big art events—the true start of a busy year. This week, Kate and I are joined by senior writer Eileen Kinsella to discuss some of the biggest art stories of the month.
In this episode, will be discussing:
— The 2026 Whitney Biennial, which opened at the beginning of the month. It always gives a snapshot of who’s in and who’s out, and what’s on curators minds. (I’ve written two pieces on it, here and here)
— The rise of a new art historical art star: the Flemish baroque painter Michaelina Wautier (1604–1689).
— And a new investigation that claims to definitively, absolutely, positively once and for settle the question of who Banksy really is. Do we think they did it? Does it matter?
