The 9.51-carat fancy vivid blue, internally flawless pear-shaped diamond, sold on Tuesday at Christie’s Magnificent Jewels auction, held at the Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues in Geneva. While that result may seem sizable, it’s actually 22 percent less than what the pendant sold for 11 years ago. Adjusted for inflation, it’s a drop of nearly 60 percent in value.Read ThisIn the latest installment of the New York Times quest to find the “Joe Rogan” of the left since the 2024 election, art critic Travis Diehl boldly asks: what about Joshua Citarella? The artist-turned-social researcher-turned-podcaster has quietly cultivated a devoted following through his YouTube interview series Doomscroll, his digital magazine Do Not Research, which explores the intersection of politics and technology, and—for the real sickos—a Discord server. Diehl approaches these ventures holistically, coming perhaps the closest anyone has to articulating what exactly Citarella’s project is. His career has veered sharply away from the usual art world circuit. Instead, as Diehl suggests, Citarella’s art may well be his carefully crafted public persona. A performance of the artist pretending to be an influencer, or perhaps the other way around? Who can be sure where the line is at this point?—Harrison Jacobs, Executive Digital Editor
