In the summer issue of
Artforum, writer and photographer Max Kozloff, now ninety years old,
recounts his activities as an art critic in New York—and an
Artforum editor—during the 1960s and ’70s in reflections assembled by Christopher Lyon from interviews with the art-world veteran. This week, we follow Kozloff into the magazine’s archives.
“If I were asked what piece I would recommend to someone who wanted to know my thought about the political context of art, I would say ‘American Painting During the Cold War,’ published in
Artforum in 1973,” Kozloff reflects. “It is something that I’m pleased with; it made a difference.”
