"Immersive Van Gogh" In this episode of Explain Me, we take stock of the year in art with Artnet's National Critic Ben Davis. What happened in the art world in 2020?  We ask this knowing that we obviously have not seen a lot of art or attended anything remotely like a normal opening. But, a lot happened this year, even if we experienced it all at a distance. We know that, with the vaccine slowly rolling out now, the art world will return, but what are the implications of the pandemic for the art world this coming fall and beyond? In part one of this episode we discuss:  The few upsides of the pandemic. Ben Davis on Phillip Guston Show Postponement Baltimore Museum Deaccessioning, two opposing views.
