ANNA SOMERS-COCKS OBE, Founder Editor of The Art Newspaper

Anna Somers-Cocks OBE is one of the best-known names in the international art world.  After her early career as a curator at the V&A Anna went into art journalism and founded The Art Newspaper in 1980.  She is also renowned for her work with the Venice in Peril Fund as well as the Illicit [Antiquities] Trade Advisory Panel.  We talk about the power of art, walking and spirituality, the illicit trade in Italian antiquities and, of course, the prospects for Venice in the light of COP 26.
