About the speaker and the lecture:
In awarding New York Times art critic Holland Cotter the 2009 Pulitzer
Prize for Criticism, the Pulitzer Committee noted his “acute observation,
luminous writing [and] dramatic story telling.” In this lecture, the critic,
well known for the range and deep humanity of his concerns, addresses
his roundabout route to art criticism, his response to the dominant model
of criticism, his sense of the increasing limitations of that model, and the
ways he imagines it could be changed and extended.
