My Article in Art in America

Here’s my brief piece for the “Front Page” section of the October Art in America magazine, about the long overdue efforts by the recently reopened Smithsonian American Art Museum and National Portrait Gallery to beef up their contemporary art collections.
For my previous piece in the WSJ about the expensive and protracted renovation of the Patent Office Building that houses both museums, go here for Part I and here for Part II.
Another WSJ piece, which takes me back to my English major days, is coming soon. I’ll keep you (and it) posted.
