Kid gloves burnt: September podcast posted
September’s lively season premier at the National Academy at which Ariella Budick, Roberta Smith and Marjorie Welish debated the merits of Andrea Zittel, Gerhard Richter, Mernet Larsen and – an especially heated debate – Diana Al-Hadid, is now available as a podcast at artcritical.com
Correction: PAFA is an acronym for the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. An earlier post of this article referred to that institution as the Pennsylvania Academy of the Arts. Thank you to Emily Wang for the correction.
