Who are some of the most revered and disliked individuals in America? Art critics of course. I never fail to be amazed at the elastic reputations of certain art critics whose opinions seem to carry enormous weight one day while the next their ideas appear as puffy words caught uncontrolled in the culture in the so-called critic’s “lack of consistency”. I am acquainted with many artists, art historians, curators, art consultants, collectors, art dealers, art writers and yes, art critics. Generally speaking most of these experts agree that a lack of consistency on the part of the critic is the chief reason for the dwindling of his or her professional authority. This authority is partly earned from the distillation of inaccurate principle. Distilled, for the common critic’s reputation is based upon his useful explanations superior of the art-work.
