Philip Leider, Founding Editor Of Artforum, Has Died At 96

Leider’s career arc was an unusual one. He helped turn Artforum into a go-to source for serious, no-nonsense art criticism, serving as its editor starting in 1962. Then, in 1971, Leider left the publication — and the eye of the mainstream art world in the US, becoming a professor first at UCal-Irvine and then in Israel. – ARTnews
