  • New York Magazine’s Senior Art Critic Jerry Saltz rarely misses a gallery or museum opening. With a stroke of a pen, he can make or destroy a new artist. Known as the ”people’s critic,” he tells Jim Zirin what he likes, and what he detests about the art world, which he sees as increasingly obsessed with money. But do we need critics to tell us what art is good?

    Mega dealers don’t really seem like they admire the artists they represent. Nor do they appear to like art in general. They could be stock brokers.

    This was very enjoyable to hear thoughts of a contemporary 'insider.' Some really great stuff--- on the realities surrounding art.

    The David Hockney painting of the swimming pool completely captures the Zeitgeist of the Hollywood Hills.

    Rockwell was an illustrator. Nothin’ wrong with that.

    He’s getting a lot of backlash for not punching down. I did like his last response. He’s like.. I don’t know why you need me…but you do

      I enjoyed this discussion and was surprised you do not collect art. What is on your walls? The process is the heart of the artist.

    I’m not happy with the way he talks about art, not everything is art. And there’s a good reason why art it’s important, and why we need good art critics. His response I DONT KNOW “ it’s the answer of someone for me is not really well educated. He needs to read more.

    I like that he talks about the gobbledygook of art critics when they talk about some artist’s work. I will seek out some of his critiques.
