David Cohen (art critic)

In the decade before he moved to New York City Cohen pursued a career as a fine arts journalist in his native London where he wrote for such publications as Art Monthly,[4] Burlington Magazine[5] and Modern Painters,[6] as well as newspapers, including The Independent and the New Statesman.[7] In 2000 he immigrated to the United States, and became a citizen there in 2008.

From 2003-08 Cohen served as art critic and contributing editor at The New York Sun.[8] From 2001 to 2010 Cohen worked at the New York Studio School as its Gallery Director,[9] and organized over forty exhibitions of artists including Thomas Nozkowski, Rackstraw Downes, John Newman, Pat Steir, Dorothea Rockburne, Merlin James and William Tucker.[10] At the school he featured regularly as a speaker in the public Evening Lecture program, conducting interviews with leading art critics and art historians in a series titled “The Craft of Criticism” where guests included Peter Schjeldahl, Michael Kimmelman, Michael Fried, Rosalind E. Krauss, Svetlana Alpers, Linda Nochlin, Arthur Danto, Mark Stevens, Roberta Smith, Jerry Saltz and Robert Storr.[11] Many of the interviewees in this series later appeared on The Review Panel.
