NEWS

The New Yorker announces new art critic – Jackson Arn
From David Remnick, Editor of the New yorker:
I’m thrilled to share the news that Jackson Arn has joined The New Yorker as our art critic. He’s already done some wonderful work for us, including reviews of a Georgia O’Keeffe show at MOMA, a van Gogh exhibit at the Met, and a new book about the mid-century art scene that flourished just around the corner from the office. I’m so pleased that he’s officially joining us in this important role.

Originally from Arizona, Jackson has written for Art in America, The Drift, Artforum, and The Nation, among other publications. On weekends, he tells me that he can be found at Film Forum (two seats behind me) or at a Union Square chessboard.

Please join me in welcoming Jackson to The New Yorker.
