"Would Andy Warhol Have Liked Me?"
Adam Lindemann stands as one of the art world's most dynamic forces, seamlessly bridging the realms of collecting, entrepreneurship, and gallery ownership through his renowned Venus Over Manhattan gallery. His trajectory from finance to becoming a pivotal figure in contemporary art has been marked by bold decisions and prescient insights, perhaps most notably captured in his influential book "Collecting Contemporary," where he turned the tables by interviewing other major collectors. His unique position as both a collector and gallerist has given him an invaluable dual perspective on the art market's mechanics and evolution.
I was absolutely thrilled to have Adam join me on Art Smack, where he brought his characteristic candor and deep market knowledge to our discussion. During our engaging conversation, he shared fascinating insights about the current state of the art market, his collecting philosophy, and his vision for the future of traditional galleries in an increasingly digital age. One of the most memorable moments was when I couldn't resist asking him if Andy Warhol would have liked me, given Adam's personal connection to the iconic artist. His ability to articulate complex market dynamics while maintaining an authentic passion for art made him an exceptional guest, offering our audience a masterclass in how to navigate the contemporary art world with both business acumen and genuine appreciation for the medium.

Great news: WE FIXED OUR AUDIO SITUATION on Art Smack .
This week Jerry dragged Matt to come on the podcast to not talk about art. Instead they discuss all of the things around the art i.e. The Substance, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Luigi Mangioni, "subtle foreshadowing" videos, those creepy drones all over the east coast, movies that opened our eyes as teenagers, and our collective hangover from GenX'ers like Peaches and Le Tigre.
This is not a hard hitting episode about art. Opposite. Its a very dumb episode. Enjoy.
