Orlando Whitfield on "All That Glitters" and Inigo Philbrick
Briefly

Whitfield reflects on his initial excitement in the art world, noting that while the thrill of running a gallery was intoxicating, it was ultimately overshadowed by disillusionment.
In discussing Philbrick’s fraudulent schemes, Whitfield notes, "The unfolding of deceit was a slow drip, revealing deeper corruptions in a system that often obscures its own shady practices through aura."
Whitfield highlights the concept of multiple art worlds, stating, "There exists not just one art world but many, structured by different social codes and relationships, each creating its own realities."
In a poignant moment, he recognizes the influence of personal connections, admitting, "At the heart of my narrative lies the evolution of friendships and their profound impacts on our moral navigations in art."
