The show is hosted by Abbi Jacobson who has an art degree from the Maryland Institute College of Art.[1] When Jacobson moved to New York City, she started a greeting card company and would sneak her cards into the racks at the Museum of Modern Art's giftshop.[2]
The ten-episode podcast is produced by WNYC Studios in collaboration with the Museum of Modern Art.[3] The show debuted on July 10, 2017.[4] Episodes were released on Mondays and Wednesdays.[5] Each 15 minute episode contains commentary and discussion from Jacobson and a guest as they look at a piece of art in New York's Museum of Modern Art.[6]
Each episode focuses on a specific theme or art movement.[7] The first episode focuses on conceptualism and art by Marcel Duchamp and Jackson Pollock.[8] Another episode focuses on minimalism and specifically on works by Jo Baer and Donald Judd.[9] The show's website has pictures of each of the pieces discussed throughout the show.[10]
Time Out Magazine recommended the show during the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] Nikki Lohr wrote in Podcast Review that while the show is a "bang-up success for art newbies, it offers little new information for art nerds."[12]
