Jerry Saltz (born February 19, 1951) is an American art critic. Since 2006, he has been senior art critic and columnist for ''New York'' magazine. Formerly the senior art critic for ''The Village Voice'', he has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in Criticism three times. He has also served as a visiting critic at The School of Visual Arts, Columbia University, Yale University, and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the (New York Studio Residency Program ), and was the sole advisor for the 1995 Whitney Biennial. He lives in New York City with his wife Roberta Smith, senior art critic for the New York Times. ==Art criticism== In an article in ''Artnet'' magazine, Saltz codified his outlook: "All great contemporary artists, schooled or not, are essentially self-taught and are de-skilling like crazy. I don't look for skill in art...Skill has nothing to do with technical proficiency... I'm interested in people who rethink skill, who redefine or reimagine it: an engineer, say, who builds rockets from rocks."〔Saltz, Jerry, ("Seeing Out Loud" ), ''www.artnet.com'', December 20, 2005. Retrieved 2015-10-01.〕 In a 2008 book, he was quoted as saying: In ''Seeing Out Loud'', his collection of ''Village Voice'' columns published in 2003, he said he considers himself the kind of critic that Peter Plagens calls a "goalie," someone who says "It's going to have to be pretty good to get by me."〔Saltz, Jerry. Seeing Out Loud: the Village Voice Art Columns Fall 1998 – Winter 2003. The Figures. 2003 (20–21).〕 Saltz has cited Manny Farber's "termite art" and Joan Didion's "Babylon" as well as other wide ranging systemic metaphors for the art world. Although he's defended the art market, he's also called out faddy market behavior and the fetish for youth, saying "the art world eats its young."〔Saltz, Jerry. ("Babylon Calling" ). ''Artnet Magazine''. September 13, 2000〕 On a College Art Association panel in February 2007, Saltz commented, "We live in a Wikipedia art world. Twenty years ago, there were only four to five encyclopedias—and I tried to get into them. Now, all writing is in the Wikipedia. Some entries are bogus, some are the best. We live in an open art world." His humor, irreverence, self-deprecation and volubility have earned him the designation as the Rodney Dangerfield of the art world.〔 He has expressed doubt about the influence of art critics as purveyors of taste, saying they have little influence in the success of an artist's career. Nonetheless, ArtReview called him the 73rd most powerful person in the art world in their 2009 Power 100 list.〔Harrison, Helen A. ("Artists Don't Get No Respect" ). Sag Harbor Express. August 7, 2010. Retrieved 2015-10-01.〕 In 2007, he received the Frank Jewett Mather Award for art criticism from the College Art Association.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Awards )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jerry Saltz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
