Art, Women, and Europe in Turmoil

In this episode, Veronique Forge-Karibian, advisor to the Milken Institute, a non-partisan economic thinktank, is joined by Natalie Livingstone, author of The Women of Nuremberg, alongside Catherine Ostler, author of The Renoir Girls, and Julia Fishel, Sotheby’s Head of Modern Day Sales. Together, they explore the intersections of art, identity and memory across some of the most turbulent chapters of European history. From Impressionist Paris and the salons of the Belle Époque to the Nuremberg Trials in the aftermath of the Second World War, the conversation traces the lives of historically-overlooked women navigating and shaping cultural transformation and political upheaval.
