about art criticism
I came across an interview with an arts critic blogger and he mentions a few art critics he respects : The interview is between Metro Times of Detroit and Tyler Green www.artsjournal.com/man It's an entertaining and informative interview ...http://www.metrotimes.com/editorial/story.asp?id=11954
MT: Who are some of your favorite writers working in the field today?
Green: Three-time Pulitzer Prize finalist Christopher Knight of the L.A. Times is at the top of the heap. More than anyone else in America he writes from a distinct, consistent, definable point of view. Then Roberta Smith (The New York Times) and her husband, two-time Pulitzer finalist Jerry Saltz. No two American critics better lift artists from obscurity to must-see status. And, in Roberta's case, she's the strongest New York voice on postwar art. I love Dave Hickey when he writes, and when he writes about art. The New Yorker's Peter Schjeldahl may have lost his fastball, but he's still great. In his prime he might have been the best writer in America period. Among those who blog, I start my day with Edward Winkleman. He's a dealer who blogs. If I were an art student or a young artist, I'd read him every day to understand how the beast works, how to be a pro.
