This week Studio 360 antes up. Kurt Andersen and novelist-turned-poker champ James McManus talk about the art and allure of gambling. In the swinging 60’s, painter LeRoy Neiman was Playboy Magazine’s house artist. His frenetic, splashy works depict the heyday of casinos from Vegas to Monte Carlo. There are many great songs about gambling, but few are as hauntingly beautiful as Gavin Bryars’ song cycle about cheating at cards. Bryars explains what his music has in common with three card monte. Plus: A group of artists are investing in a new scheme, the Artist Pension Trust. They’re pooling their resources and betting on their peers for financial success.
