In his
New York Times column of March 16, 2016, Holland Cotter encourages museums to engage in risky behavior—truth telling. Such truths about slave trade, war-time looting, or women artists excluded from museum collections have been glossed over or omitted in many museum labels and didactics. He suggests that telling untold truths offers a way forward with visitor engagement.
Holland Cotter is co-chief art critic and senior writer at the New York Times. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism in 2009. He has a BA from Harvard College, an MA from Hunter College, CUNY, and a Masters of Philosophy in art history from Columbia University.
