We're serving BACK to BACK exhibition content for our listeners this month. It's October, when the art world wakes up in London and we've been running around soaking up as much content as our beady eyes can take in. Art from emerging megalopolises at the Palais de Tokyo, art in skips, William Blake at the Tate Britain, Tim Walker at the V&A and much more.

We then dissect the documentary that shook the art world: The $50 Million Art Swindle, and keeping our art detective hats on we ruminate over who stole Maurizio Cattelan's gold toilet, and where is it now? Stolen artworks lead us into our October Artist Focus, Anselm Kiefer. Join us as we attempt to summarise an artist who has captured the holocaust through painting, sculpture and photography, but if you didn't think he had anything in common with the sitcom Will and Grace, think again!
