Art Basel Miami Beach, Notre-Dame reopen...

THE ART NEWSPAPER
About this episode

The Art Newspaper’s editor, Americas, Ben Sutton, and our art market editor, Kabir Jhala, are in Florida and report on the sales and the mood on the first VIP day at Art Basel Miami Beach. On 8 December, the cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris will reopen, more than five years after the fire that partly destroyed it. Ben Luke talks to one of the architects responsible for its rise from the ashes, Pascal Prunet. And this episode’s Work of the Week is The Madonna and Child with Saints (1526-27) by Parmigianino, better known as The Vision of Saint Jerome. The painting this week returned to public display for the first time in 10 years, in a new exhibition at the National Gallery in London, following conservation, and we talk to Maria Alambritis, the show’s co-curator.


Art Basel Miami Beach, until Sunday, 8 December.


Notre-Dame reopens on Sunday, 8 December.


Parmigianino: The Vision of Saint Jerome, National Gallery, London, until 9 March 2025
