This week on Spill the Art Tea, Eamonn and Josh wade into another round of art-world drama — starting with ICE using an Anish Kapoor sculpture in a promotional photo, triggering public outrage and the possibility of a lawsuit. Because apparently even government agencies can’t resist a shiny Bean.

We look at the shutdown of Teen Vogue, closing the book on a publication that somehow balanced mascara tips with political fire.

Then it’s museum controversy as the Phillips Collection deaccessions works by O’Keeffe, Seurat and Dove, raising eyebrows across the sector.

Sotheby’s smashes expectations with a $236M Klimt sale, Ripley’s buys a Maurizio Cattelan piece and the internet is furious, and Hyperallergic asks the spicy question: is Cattelan… over?

Another week, another swirl of art, chaos, money, and questionable decisions — exactly how we like it. 🎨🍵
