'Studio 360' looks at the art market

The global credit squeeze has created all kinds of economic jitters, but it hasn’t reached the art market.

Spring is the time for art auctions and art fairs. Kurt Andersen visits the AIPAD Photography show to talk to art dealers to see if they've noticed whether the current economic downturn has affected the art market.

Kurt also talks with András Szántó, senior lecturer at the Sotheby's Institute of Art and a co-founder of Artworldsalon.com, about the relationship between money and the big-time art world.

PRI's Peabody Award-winning "Studio 360 with Kurt Andersen" from WNYC is public radio's smart and surprising guide to what's happening in pop culture and the arts. Each week, Kurt Andersen introduces you to the people who are creating and shaping our culture. Life is busy — so let "Studio 360" steer you to the must-see movie this weekend, the next book for your nightstand, or the song that will change your life.
