About this episode

The episode discusses the legacy of Yayoi Kusama and explores the art market dynamics concerning Baby Boomers' collections and Larry Gagosian's perspective on buying opportunities.

Marion Maneker joins Peter to remember Yayoi Kusama, the Japanese artist who died last week at 97, and unpack her multifaceted career—from a polka-dot obsession to her LVMH collaborations and museum-conquering studio. Then they dig into a recent Bloomberg article claiming Baby Boomers’ art collections may not find younger buyers, and why megadealer Larry Gagosian spies a buying opportunity.
