I asked that question of Get the Picture author Bianca Bosker on this week's episode of Art Problems.

And let me tell you, the answer was every bit as thrilling as asking the question.

In Bosker's New York Times bestselling book, she spends five years working at galleries, and artist studios, as well as interviewing the Whitney Biennial curators and spending time working as a guard at museums, all to better understand how to appreciate art.

In our interview, we dig a little deeper into the themes of the book, and try to get to the bottom of questions like,

Why does art matter?

Why is the art world so mysterious?

How does a person look at or evaluate art?

Tune in, because this is a podcast you will not want to miss!
