New York auctions, James McNeill Whistler at Tate Britain, Edvard Munch—podcast

A podcast episode from The Art Newspaper reviews New York’s recent auctions, noting record-setting prices for works by Jackson Pollock, Constantin Brancusi, and Mark Rothko alongside more mixed results, with reporting discussed by Judd Tully and host Ben Luke. The episode also covers the largest European exhibition of James McNeill Whistler in more than 30 years, which opened at Tate Britain in London and runs until 27 September 2026 before splitting into two parallel shows in the Netherlands: Whistler: Dandy and Disruptor at the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, and Whistler: Loving The Netherlands at The Mesdag Collection, The Hague (both 16 October 2026–10 January 2027). In addition, the “Work of the Week” segment examines Edvard Munch’s 1922 frieze made for the women’s canteen of the Freia Chocolate Factory in Oslo, now on temporary loan to the Munch museum for the exhibition Edvard Munch and the Chocolate Factory. That exhibition is on view at Munch in Oslo until 11 October.
