Tyler Green (journalist)

Tyler Green is an award-winning art critic and historian. He produces and hosts The Modern Art Notes Podcast, a weekly digital audio program that features interviews with artists and art historians such as Richard Serra, Robert Irwin, Phyllida Barlow, Carl Andre, Sophie Calle, Vija Celmins, Mark Bradford, Julie Mehretu, Jo Ann Callis, and Shirin Neshat.^[1] Pulitzer Prize-winning art critic Sebastian Smee called The MAN Podcast "one of the great archives of the art of our time."^[2] The BBC has named the program one of the world's top 25 culture podcasts.^[3]

Green's book about 19th-century artist Carleton Watkins, "Carleton Watkins: Making the West American," will be published by University of California Press in October, 2018. Watkins (1829–1916) is widely considered the greatest American photographer of the nineteenth century and arguably the most influential artist of his era. He is best known for his pictures of Yosemite Valley and the nearby Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias, pictures that motivated the birth of the national park idea.^[4][5]

Green wrote and edited the pioneering website Modern Art Notes (MAN) from 2001-14. It was among the first art blogs and may have been the first website to feature original criticism and reporting about art and art institutions. The U.S. chapter of the International Association of Art Critics (AICA-USA) awarded Green one of its two inaugural awards for art criticism in 2014. The award included a citation for the MAN Podcast. (The other inaugural award was given to New York Times critic Holland Cotter.)

From 2010-2014 Green was the columnist for the monthly art magazine, Modern Painters.^[6] He is a member of the United States section of the International Association of Art Critics (AICA).^[7]
