 Welcome, WAM listeners, to Speaking of Art. I'm your host, Edwin Hoffman. This is the show that explores the world of art, antiques, music, literature, and film academically, commercially, and from the artist's and collector's perspectives. My aim is to provide you with a three-dimensional view of the world of art, those who make it, collect it, sell it, and teach it. We're talking about those things that are, for many of us, the essence of our lives, what sustains us through the working week to our private moments.
