When the Village Voice’s Jerry Salz published a scathing critique earlier this week of Maxwell Anderson’s tenure as director of the Whitney Museum, Anderson felt the need to set the record straight: “As the Whitney’s former director, freed for a time from the well-meaning restraints of publicists, it’s a pleasure to respond on behalf of all museum directors who are congenitally obliged to hold their tongues… Too few critics are informed enough about the realities of running a museum to write about the museum – as opposed to its manifestation through exhibitions accounting for only a portion of its energies and budget.”
