The longest and most insightful Interview of the writer while he was the Art Critic of Vanity Fair Magazine, after having written for a variety of publications, principally The Village Voice, and before becoming the Art Critic of the New Yorker Magazine, a position he held until his untimely death. As such, it is an indispensable companion to the collections of art criticism he published. It is complacent to regard Peter Schjeldahl as the most adept art chronicler for our time (which he was). He was much more than this. More than any other art critic in recent memory, he patiently asked the same unanswerable, eternal questions: What is art? What is beauty? What does it mean to be an artist? What does the art we produce and admire tell us about ourselves? They are worth asking nonetheless as there are (far too) many theory-driven art critics actively writing drivel today. Alas, there was only one Peter Schjeldahl. Our most important art critic since Harold Rosenberg, Clement Greenberg, Robert Hughes, and Arthur C. Danto, for Schjeldahl, there was still such a thing as art in a world that only talks and cares about the art market, is fixated on identity politics, and yet is finally only interested in money. Schjeldahl was also a brilliant poet (of the New York School, which he also discusses at length in the Interview). Two long, celebrated poems, "The Artist", and "Dear Profession of Art Writing", are reproduced alongside the Interview. "The idea that there are only 'the great' is crazy to me. But there is such a thing as great. Irony isn't new. It is our modern condition" (Peter Schjeldahl). An absolute "must-have" title for Peter Schjeldahl collectors. This title is a great Issue. As far as we know, this is the only copy available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare copy thus. One of the greatest art critics of our time. A fine copy. no.…
