Episode 025: Magda Sawon
Listen now
Description
This week's episode features pioneering gallerist Magda Sawon, who together with her husband and business partner Tamas Banovich has been running Postmasters gallery since 1984.  Postmasters hardly needs introduction – it is a veritable New York institution, and an incredibly important piece of the puzzle when looking at how time-based media art (and especially digital art) exists within the gallery world. In our conversation we'll hear Magda's hard earned perspective from navigating the booms and busts of the art market for almost 40 years. Tune in for a real slice of New York art world history, and to hear all about what Postmasters is up to in 2022.
