NOTA BENE is the podcast version of a boozy lunch at Sant Ambroeus in which adviser Benjamin Godsill and Vanity Fair art columnist Nate Freeman dish fresh art world gossip from Dimes Square to Mayfair, peel back the curtain on auctions, galleries and fairs—and, critically, tell you where to eat and drink in every museum-stuffed port of call. Plus there’s a special guest each week, and we’ll roast them good regardless of how much clout they carry on the circuit. It’s NOTA BENE. Don’t close the deal until you tune in.

We are back with our always eagerly awaited sale-by-sale auction season preview with the maestro himself LOCK KRESLER.
Get all the stories behind the key lots and consignments of this November's marquee sales at Christie's, Sotheby's and Phillips.
We are (finally) BACK!
We are pleased to welcome art advisor Jacob King to discuss the art program he has organized for the iconic Lever House. A new show of early and iconic work by Claes Oldenburg is opening this week and we take this opportunity to discuss the intersection of real estate and blue chip art.
We also discuss the state of the market, and Jacob's widely circulated missive on the market from this past spring as well as his outlook for this coming auction season.

Jonas and Benjamin discuss his recent travels, his new paintings and being a dad who's an artist. We also do our best Huberman impression and discuss our workout and recovery routines on the road.
In a special, special twist we are then joined by Jonas' family - his wife the ceramicist Shio Kusaka and their awesome kids Momo and Kiki. Shio and the kids discuss what it's like to have themselves and their work depicted in Jonas' paintings and how much fun it is traveling as a family.

We briefly discuss our whirlwind day in Chicago before being joined by our friend Abby Pucker. Abby previews this coming Chicago Exhibition Weekend, as well as her role in founding GERTIE, a civic and cultural agency that aims to expand Chicago's creative economy.
Abby comes from a long line of innovative cultural philanthropists and she has a thoughtful, grass-roots fueled take on how art and culture can inform the transformation of cities for all residents. Also she is super fun.
We are back. Join Nate and Benjamin for a quick catch-up on the traffic hell that is the United Nations General Assembly.
Then, Benjamin finally breaks the self-imposed ban on NFT's on the pod to sit down with Matt Hall and John Watkinson, founders of Larva Labs and the creators of one of the earliest and most iconic NFTs - the Crypto Punks. We discuss their background, the blockchain and if NFTs are or are not art.
We also get into a work of theirs that will be auctioned off this week on FairWarning with all proceeds going to charity.
This wide-ranging interview was a long time coming and you won't want to miss it.

We are then thrilled to be joined by Los Angeles gallerist Sebastian Gladstone along with an artist from his roster, Tristan Unrau. Sebastian has forgone any New York fairs this season and taken a short term lease on a downtown space for a series of exhibitions, the first of which is an exceptional solo show by Tristian. We discuss Sebastian's evolution as a gallerist, this innovative program in New York and then Tristian's intricate and seductive painting project. AND WE EVEN BREAK SOME NEWS.
