Host Ben Luke engages with reporter Judd Tully to discuss the results. Meanwhile, Tate Britain has unveiled a significant exhibition dedicated to James McNeill Whistler, marking his first extensive showcase in Europe in over three decades, curated by Carol Jacobi. The exhibition, which includes two segments and runs from October 16, 2023, to January 10, 2027, will later travel to Amsterdam and The Hague.
