In the latest episode of The Art Newspaper's podcast, three key topics are explored. First up is the exhibition 'Frida: The Making of an Icon,' now at Tate Modern in London after its run at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. This show highlights Frida Kahlo's artistry and cultural influence, with insights from co-curator Tobias Ostrander. Next, as the UK marks ten years since the Brexit referendum on June 23, 2016, Alexander Herman from the Institute of Art and Law discusses its effects on art and cultural heritage laws. Lastly, the 'Work of the Week' spotlights the Visconti-Sforza Tarot by Bonifacio Bembo, featured in the exhibition 'Tarot! Renaissance Symbols, Modern Visions,' curated by Joshua O'Driscoll. The Tate Modern show lasts until January 3, 2027, while the tarot exhibit runs from June 26 to October 4 at the Morgan Library and Museum.
