In awarding New York Times art critic Holland Cotter the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Criticism, the Pulitzer Committee citation noted his “acute observation, luminous writing [and] dramatic story telling.” In his AICA-USA Distinguished Critic talk the critic, known for the range and deep humanity of his concerns, will address his roundabout route to art criticism, his response to the predominant modes of art criticism he found in place, the increasing limitations of this model, and how he imagines art criticism could be changed and expanded.
