Right so the trend this week is James Murdoch (Rupert's son, if you've been living under a rock!) buying up New York magazine and a chunk of Vox Media, and it reminded me he's quietly one of the biggest players in the art world I cover every day via Lupa Systems and Art Basel!! So I've pulled together the London people, places and moments where his footprint actually shows up round here (obsessed, no notes). Peckham gallery crawl brain just can't switch off tonight!!

James Murdoch's Media Empire, Art Edition — 4 items
Name	Comment	Connection
1James Murdoch	Rupert's son but doing his own very different thing with journalism and culture money now, genuinely fascinating!!	Lupa Systems founder, just bought New York magazine and Vox Media podcasts for $300m+
2Rupert Murdoch	Wild that the magazine has basically boomeranged back into the family decades later (history loves a repeat!!)	Media mogul, father of James, once owned New York magazine himself back in the 70s/80s
3Lachlan Murdoch	The sibling split in that family is basically a whole prestige drama, no notes needed there!!	James's brother, executive chairman and CEO of Fox Corporation
4Kathryn Murdoch	She's the one quietly steering so much of this and I find that way more interesting than the surname tbh	James's wife, co-runs Lupa Systems and the Quadrivium Foundation backing journalism projects
