In honor of WNYC's 100th birthday, All Of It is celebrating 100 pieces of art in New York City. Each month we speak with a tastemaker in the arts world about their 10 favorites. This segment features Art News editor in chief Sarah Douglas who shares 10 pieces she thinks all New Yorkers should see.

A new film follows a queer 17-year-old named Sam (Lily Collias), her father, and her father's longtime friend as they head on backpacking trip in the Catskills. However, she starts to see the men in a new light as their resentments about life rise to the surface. Director India Donaldson joins us alongside Collias to discuss the film, "Good One" which is playing at Film at Lincoln Center this weekend.
Edward C. Moore was a silversmith responsible for solidifying the reputation of Tiffany & Co. as one of the most elite metalworking companies in the world. Some of the pieces made under his direction, along with more than 180 objects from his own personal collection, are on display now at the Met. Curator Medill Higgins Harvey joins us to discuss, Collecting Inspiration: Edward C. Moore at Tiffany & Co., on view through October 20.
An ongoing exhibit on Governor's Island asks New Yorkers to donate their empty pill bottles as part of an installation that seeks to destigmatize the use of medication in the treatment of mental health and other ailments. Artist Alyson Vega joins us to discuss the project, alongside Rachel Weisman, director of the Fountain House Gallery, an organization aimed at supporting contemporary artists who cope with mental illness. Meditations on Medication: The Pill Bottle Project is on view through August 11.
We are over a week into the 2024 Paris Olympics, with Simone Biles and Katie Ledecky dominating their events, and Pommel Horse Guy capturing the hearts and minds of twitter. All Of It producer Luke Green recaps the action thus far and looks forward to the rest of the Games.
