We covered a wide array of other topics, including tips from Magnus on how to recognize when a deal for an artwork is too good to be true, how he sees the future of AI use as a first line of inquiry for authenticating art, and Magnus introduces his new app, the eponymous Magnus, which functions like Shazam for artworks: snap a photo and it will tell you the artwork, the artist, and its estimated value. Listeners will find a download code (NOAH50), to give them early access to the beta version.
