Discover Jerry Saltz’s Favorite Things


Our chief art critic is writing a pop-up, subscriber-only newsletter about the cultural works that shape his outlook.

Mountains of erudition, battle-scarred experience judging artists and trends, openness and generosity buttressed by steadfast pillars of taste — all brought to bear when the critic looks at a painting, watches a film, or reads a novel. In Jerry Saltz’s Favorite Things, a new subscriber-only pop-up newsletter, Jerry will elucidate the various influences that have combined to shape his outlook, from his favorite Instagram accounts to his must-listen podcasts. Each list is a window into Jerry’s idiosyncratic habits and unique sensibility as well as a testament to the notion that criticism is not just a way of seeing but a way of living, too.
