What does the art world currently look like? It might talk about diversity and opportunity but to what extent has it really opened up? On this week’s show, we look into the recently released Burns Halperin Report, which explores representation in US museums and the international art market. Robert Bound speaks to the co-founders of the report, Charlotte Burns and Julia Halperin, and art critic and author Farah Nayeri. Read the report online at studioburns.media
