"Immersive Van Gogh"In this episode of Explain Me, we take stock of the year in art with Artnet's National Critic Ben Davis.

We know that, with the vaccine slowly rolling out now, the art world will return, but what are the implications of the pandemic for the art world this coming fall and beyond?
In part one of this episode we discuss:
The few upsides of the pandemic.
