Episode 19: A 2020 round-up, that Mary Wollstonecraft statue, the Humboldt Forum opening, and Georgia O’Keeffe

Our final attempt at a podcast for 2020, and we’re trying to keep it fun-filled and Covid-free! We kick procedures off in traditional form for Christmas with a mostly art-based quiz.As it’s a bit of a special episode we round up our favourite artist discoveries in 2020, we pin our hopes on new shows in 2021, and we couldn’t resist but stir up drama with some art-world stories. The controversial Mary Wollstonecraft statue, the soft-opening of the Humboldt Forum in Berlin, and the frustration of a Kandinsky restitution claim.We were both a bit giddy about our final Artist Focus of 2020: it’s the record-breaking Georgia O’Keeffe. Mother of American Modernism, she was plagued throughout her life by interpretations of her work as expressions of the female sex organ. But while she found success amongst the New York elite, she spent most of her life working in New Mexico, avoiding the city scene and the labels they attributed to her.
