Ikon Octopus Talk Art

With their popular podcast, Russell Tovey and Robert Diament opened the doors to the contemporary art world. Featuring exclusive interviews with leading artists, musicians, writers, actors and gallerists, Talk Art has established itself as the must-listen cultural podcast and garnered more than 1.5 million downloads since its launch in 2018.

Talk Art, the book, is a visually stimulating and accessible celebration of contemporary art, and a guidebook to navigating and engaging with the art world. Informal and jargon-free, this book proves that art really is for everyone. As Russell says: “All we wanted to do was make art accessible, non-academic, non-elitist, gossipy and fun”. With a wealth of imagery (some never-before-seen in print and some commissioned especially for the book) and an informative and engaging narrative, Talk Art will become the must-have book that art lovers return to again and again.
