In the 1960s and early 1970s, Max Kozloff (b. 1933) emerged as one of the leading critics and writers on modern art. By the mid-1970s he turned his attention to photography criticism and took up a camera to make his own work. Organized by the Art Institute of Chicago, Max Kozloff: Critic and Photographer, on view from October 5, 2013 through January 5, 2014 inGalleries 1-4, is a major retrospective that reveals the ways in which Kozloff's work as a writer shaped his vision behind the camera lens, and vice versa. The exhibition includes over 80 works, all drawn from the permanent collection of the Art Institute, including photographs by artists who have both inspired Kozloff's photography and served as the subjects of his writing. Accompanying the individual images are excerpts from Kozloff's critical pieces from 1976 to the present. Kozloff's own photographs are also included, while a reading room allows visitors to further study his work as a critic.
