Tyler Green

Tyler Green lives in Washington, DC...
Tyler Green edits and writes Modern Art Notes (artsjournal.com/man), the most-read blog about visual art. He also writes regularly for numerous magazines.

In 2005 the Wall Street Journal called MAN "the most influential of all visual arts blogs." Two years later the WSJ said, "You won't find a better-informed art writer than Tyler Green."

Forbes magazine has named MAN a "Best of the Web" site, and publications such as the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal, Time, the Detroit Free Press, the Boston Globe, the Denver Post, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Slate, Contemporary, Art & Auction, Black Book, The New Criterion, and Art in America have all featured MAN.

Away from MAN, Green has written for magazines such as Fortune, and Conde Nast Portfolio. He contributes op-eds to the Los Angeles Times (they are typically available over the paper's syndication service), and his opinion pieces have also been featured in the Boston Globe and in the Wall Street Journal's arts op-ed column, "In the Fray." His commentary has also aired on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered." Green's reported articles and features have appeared in the New York Observer, LA Weekly, Black Book magazine, Washingtonian, Smithsonian, and others.

Green was the art critic for Bloomberg News from September, 2004 until September, 2005, and the Washington-based critic for Artnet Magazine from March, 2003, through August, 2004. He has been a guest on many radio programs, including on the BBC, NPR, NPR affiliates, and on Bloomberg Radio.

Green regularly lectures about art, including at George Washington University, Detroit's College for Creative Studies, the Maryland Institute College of Art, Virginia Commonwealth University, and at Artissima, in Turin, Italy. Green regularly sits on panel discussions before groups such as the National Arts Journalism Program. He was a panelist at the College Art Association's 2008 conference.

Green attended the University of Missouri, where he majored in journalism. He is a member of the United States section of the International Association of Art Critics (AICA). Green was born in San Mateo, Calif., and lives in Washington, DC.
