Verso: An Art History PodcastJo van Gogh-Bonger: The Woman Who Made Vincent van Gogh ImmortalYou know Vincent van Gogh: Sunflowers. Starry nights. The guy who cut off his ear. One of the most famous artists in history.But you probably don't know Jo van Gogh-Bonger, the woman who made him famous.When Jo's husband Theo died in 1891 after just twenty-one months of marriage, she was left with a baby, no income, and hundreds of paintings that critics called "nearly vulgar." She had zero art world experience. Male dealers dismissed her as a grieving amateur. Her own brother was embarrassed to ask her permission to sell paintings.So...
2026-02-2337 minVerso: An Art History PodcastKILL LIES ALL: Tony Shafrazi and the Vandalism of GuernicaIn February 1974, a young artist named Tony Shafrazi walked into the Museum of Modern Art, pulled out a can of cherry-red spray paint, and wrote "KILL LIES ALL" across Picasso's Guernica—the most famous antiwar painting in the world.His act made headlines, exactly as he'd planned. But was it protest or publicity stunt? Political intervention or narcissistic vandalism? And how did the man who defaced a masterpiece go on to become one of the most powerful art dealers of the 1980s, launching the careers of Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat?This episode tells the st...
2026-02-0916 minVerso: An Art History PodcastThe Mark Rothko Estate Trial: The Art World's Own Little WatergateContent Warning: Discussion of suicideIn 1970, Abstract Expressionist painter Mark Rothko was found dead in his New York studio, leaving behind nearly 800 paintings worth millions. Within weeks, his executors—including his trusted accountant Bernard Reis—had signed contracts turning over his entire life's work to the Marlborough Gallery under terms that would shock the art world.What followed was one of the most dramatic legal battles in art history, as Rothko's 19-year-old daughter Kate fought to expose a conspiracy that reached from Manhattan to Liechtenstein. The case would reveal how the very syst...
2026-01-261h 24Verso: An Art History PodcastThe Ghent Altarpiece, Part III - The Toothache That Saved the Ghent AltarpieceAdolf Hitler believed the Ghent Altarpiece contained a coded map to supernatural relics that would grant him power. He and Hermann Göring competed to possess it. They built a state-of-the-art storage facility a mile underground in an Austrian salt mine to house it alongside 6,577 other stolen paintings—works by Michelangelo, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Rubens, and, most importantly, Van Eyck.Then, in April 1945, SS soldiers placed bombs in the mine. Six 500-kilogram aircraft bombs positioned to collapse the entire facility and bury everything inside.What happened next involved a toothache in a small German town; four Aus...
2026-01-121h 09Verso: An Art History PodcastThe Ghent Altarpiece, Part II - The Theft No One Wanted to SolveOn April 11, 1934, The Righteous Judges and Saint John the Baptist panels from the Ghent Altarpiece vanished from Saint Bavo Cathedral. The investigation was bungled from the start—police arrived late, didn't seal the scene, took no photographs. Then came thirteen ransom letters from someone signed "D.U.A." who seemed hurt that the bishop wouldn't cooperate with his "gentleman's agreement."Seven months later, Arsène Goedertier died, confessing his involvement in the crime to his lawyer on his deathbed. Carbon copies of the ransom letters were in his desk. Case closed.Except nothing made sense. Goe...
2025-12-291h 10Verso: An Art History PodcastThe Ghent Altarpiece, Part I - The Art of ProtectionIn 1432, Jan and Hubert van Eyck completed a painting so revolutionary it changed art forever. The Ghent Altarpiece introduced techniques no one had seen before—translucent oil glazes, luminous depth, obsessive detail. It was made for one chapel in one Belgian city. But because it was so brilliant, everyone else decided they deserved it too.Over the next six centuries, the Ghent Altarpiece became the most stolen artwork in history. Fourteen thefts. And almost every time, the thief had the same justification: we're not stealing it, we're saving it.Napoleon took it to Paris in 1794, ca...

2025-12-1538 minVerso: An Art History PodcastMoMA, The CIA, and the Weaponization of Abstract ExpressionismJackson Pollock died in a car crash in 1956, two years before his painting Number 12 was crated up and shipped to Basel to start its run in of the most important American art exhibitions of the decade. He never knew his work would be used to fight a war. He never knew the CIA was involved. He never got to say no.This is the story of how Abstract Expressionism became a weapon in the Cold War, deployed by people who genuinely believed culture could save democracy, even if it meant lying about where the money came from...
2025-12-0133 minVerso: An Art History PodcastElizabeth Siddal and the Tragic Fate of OpheliaElizabeth Siddal was the face of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood—the model for John Everett Millais's iconic Ophelia painting and the lover of Dante Gabriel Rossetti for ten years before they married. But was she a victim of a toxic relationship, a talented artist erased by history, or something more complicated?This episode explores her life as a model and artist in Victorian England, her decade-long relationship with Rossetti, her addiction to laudanum, and her death at 32. We also examine how every generation since has rewritten her story—from Victorian tragic muse to 1920s hysteric to 1960s groupie to f...
2025-11-171h 04Verso: An Art History PodcastThe Theft That Made the Mona Lisa Famous (and Nearly Destroyed Picasso)On August 21, 1911, the Mona Lisa vanished from the Louvre. What followed wasn't just the greatest art heist of all time—it was a scandal that destroyed friendships, exposed the hypocrisy of the avant-garde, and transformed a Renaissance portrait into the most famous painting in the world.This is the story of Vincenzo Peruggia, the Italian glazer who walked out of the museum with the painting tucked under his smock. Of Guillaume Apollinaire, the poet who went to prison for crimes he didn't commit. And of Pablo Picasso, who stood in a courtroom and denied even knowing his cl...
