I think perhaps it says something interesting about how you view Point for this was how refreshing I find your coffee habits. Thank you for calling and calling on time. Those habits are, on top of being refreshingly anti-establishment (in the context of him being a cultural tastemaker), perhaps a good metaphor for his take on art. His posts have been described as ‘antics’, flip-flopping as they do between reverence and scorn for artists known and unknown, between calls to activism and strangely personal recounting of his coffee habits. And he’s mastered social media: he has nearly a million followers across Twitter and Instagram. He’s lovable but no-holds-barred he’s forceful but self-deprecating he’s intelligent and accessible. Now in his late 60s, he brought home New York magazine’s first Pulitzer Prize in 2018-it’s at that magazine that he has served as senior art critic since 2006.
Learning on the job by jerry saltz driver#
Jerry Saltz became an art critic at 41, after working as a long-distance truck driver and trying his hand at being an artist. But he’s an undying believer in the power of art. Jerry Saltz is a man of refreshing integrity and Panglossian spirit-endearingly optimistic, he’s also sarcastic to the point of sardonic, political (he’s aggressively anti-Trump), and defiantly condemnatory of the art market, art fairs and highfalutin’ auctions. David Michon called him for a stimulating chat Pulitzer Prize-winning art critic Jerry Saltz, who has strong opinions on art-market groupthink, coffee and elitism. First published in May 2019 in Issue 12 of The Gourmand, an award winning, biannual food and culture journal.
