ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Talia Pockhai is an art advisor and writer who lives in London. She operates her own art advising business, I&I Worldwide. In this episode of Rough Drafts, Luke and Maurice travel to Manhattan to interview Talia about art. She talks about the most recent Venice Biennale (5:45) and the boom in portraiture as a form (9:50). Later on, Maurice asks a question about art mentors, which comes from the bell hooks book, Art of My Mind. Talia talks about her neighbor, Laurie Sims (19:15), and her initial forays into the art world. The conversation ends up going to a discussion of cultural appropriation (25:30) and how that relates to both art and literature. Finally, the conversation goes to her art writing and art business. Talia gives suggestions for young art collectors (38:10) and why it’s critical to support avant-garde artists early in their careers. We talk about how Black artists' labor often for years and die in obscurity (40:50).
