About Art: Why did a banana taped to a wall cost $6.2 million?
If you could hang a podcast in The Louvre, then this might just be that podcast. Why did a banana taped to a wall cost $6.2 million? What is the point of the Mona Lisa? What actually is 'art'? These are some of the many questions that we put to Dr. James Hicks, who is art historian and one of the most knowledgable people we've ever met. This episode makes us to some unexpected places (Tracey Emin's Bed meets Joe Marler anyone?) and we're very much here for it.
