Gauguin ‘fake’ is real, Mrinalini Mukherjee and her circle, Franz Xaver Messerschmidt’s head piece—podcast

This episode of The Art Newspaper's podcast 'The Week in Art' covers three main stories. Host Ben Luke discusses the authentication of Paul Gauguin's final self-portrait (1903) at the Kunstmuseum Basel, which was recently confirmed as genuine after being questioned earlier this year. He also interviews Tarini Malik, curator of 'A Story of South Asian Art: Mrinalini Mukherjee and Her Circle' at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, and speaks with Katharina Lovecky and Georg Lechner about the exhibition 'Franz Xaver Messerschmidt: More than Character Heads' at the Belvedere in Vienna, featuring Messerschmidt's Character Head No. 25 as the Work of the Week.
