The Art World: What If...?!The Art World: What If...?! with Allan Schwartzman“The market is poised for a big fall, so it's more ‘when’, than ‘what if’,” says Allan Schwartzman, founder of the podcast. He’s back on the show to talk all about the state of the art market and the broader implications of its changing dynamics for the artists and for the cultural landscape at large. "Greatness doesn't grow at the same rate as a population does," says Allan. "Greatness is extremely rare.

What if we all challenged our comfort? This time, Charlotte Burns talks to one of her personal heroes, the artist Pope.L. Probably best known for his public performance art or his crawls through city streets, Pope.L uses his body—literally —to ask questions about race and inequality.
