  • The Great Art Fraud: Performance, Pretty Privilege & an $86 Million Scandal

    The Great Art Fraud: Performance, Pretty Privilege & an $86 Million Scandal
    Dec 19 2025
    The Great Art Fraud: Performance, Pretty Privilege & an $86 Million ScandalThis week’s episode of All About Art dives into one of the biggest recent scandals in contemporary art. It’s based on my recent experience watching the BBC’s The Great Art Fraud, which chronicles Inigo Philbrick’s spectacular $86 million fraud that shook the art world to its core.I discuss a range of factors that led to this happening, from the halo effect and “pretty privilege” to the culture of opacity that still defines high-value art deals. I explore how Philbrick sold a lifestyle as much as he sold art - and how the BBC’s documentary, perhaps unintentionally, keeps that performance of glamor alive.We discuss the gaps in regulation, the role of symbolic capital in luxury markets, and why the documentary’s hero’s journey framing (I explain why I think its framed like this) feels kind of uncomfortably forgiving. Will the art world forget this scandal and engage in art deals with Philbrick in the future? It sure did feel like it towards the end…If you’ve watched the series or are fascinated by the intersection of psychology, performance, and market failure, I would love for you to have a listen & leave a comment to share your thoughts!Image & Media CreditsJay Jopling photograph: Oli Scarff / Getty Images, via Artnet NewsKenny Schachter image: Courtesy of Sotheby’sInigo Philbrick image: Getty Images, via The New York TimesThe Great Art Fraud promotional artwork: BBCAdditional images (if applicable): Courtesy KennySchachter.artImage & Source CreditsThis episode includes images sourced from Getty Images, Sotheby’s, The New York Times, the BBC, and KennySchachter.art.

  • The Mind Control of Mount Making with Alex Abbott, Director of Dauphin

    The Mind Control of Mount Making with Alex Abbott, Director of Dauphin
    Dec 6 2025

    The Mind Control of Mount Making with Alex Abbott, Director of Dauphin


    In this episode, I sat down with Alex Abbott, Art Consultant and Director of Dauphin, a company that specializes in displays and mounts.


    I speak to Alex about what his company does - which a lot of you have certainly come into contact with but not been fully aware of. Alex does the unseen work of ensuring the objects we view and love in museums, galleries, and homes are mounted with safety and care. That ancient jug you saw last week at the Museum of Natural History? That was mounted and tilted at a 40 degree angle by Alex and his team, but his main objectives are not to impress the viewer with his skills of mounting a work of art or history - his objective is that his work remains as invisible as possible while keeping whatever it is he is working with, safe.


    I speak to Alex about the artworks he has worked with in the past, including Barbara Heptworth sculptures and suits of armor. I ask him what sort of things need to be considered when consulting on how works of art or objects should be displayed, and also what its like to be director of a company at quite a young age - he took the helm of Dauphin at just 25 years old. We talk about the psychology of displays, the unseen work of mount makers in the arts, so much more.

    Thank you Alex for coming on the podcast!

  • I wrote the perfect book for anyone who wants to work in the arts 🚀📚 (Working in Art coming April 2026!)

    I wrote the perfect book for anyone who wants to work in the arts 🚀📚 (Working in Art coming April 2026!)
    Nov 22 2025

    My forthcoming book Working in Art has officially beeen announced as available for pre-order, with publication coming in April 2026.


    So, on this week’s episode of All About Art, I walk you through what went into creating this book - the travel to 9 cities across 5 countries, the interviews with arts professionals I deeply admire, and the honest moments of self-doubt along the way. I explain why I felt this book needed to exist: the arts and cultural sector contributes £19.1 billion to the UK economy annually, yet fewer than 8 state schools offer History of Art at A-level. How are young people supposed to know what career paths are available if we don’t show them?


    This episode is more personal than usual. I talk about the process of organizing interviews, editing down lengthy transcripts, and working through the fear of whether my own writing was good enough. I also share who this book is for - whether you’re considering entering the arts sector, already working in it, or simply curious about the range of careers that exist beyond artist or gallerist.


    You can pre-order the book here: https://www.alexandrasteinacker.com/book
