Founded in 2005, Whitehot Magazine has become one of the leading channels for contemporary art criticism. Since its inception, Whitehot has published thousands of reviews covering art from the United States, East Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and South America, with key pieces authored by critical luminaries, including Anthony Haden-Guest, Donald Kuspit, and Phoebe Hoban. The magazine is also uniquely independent in its editorial voice. Unlike other large art world publications, Whitehot is owned and managed by its founding editor rather than by a media holding company.
On the occasion of its upcoming 20th anniversary, founder Noah Becker and contributor Michael Maizels have compiled a critical anthology of the magazine’s writings. The selected articles not only encapsulate the storied history of Whitehot but also provide a significant window into the evolution of art practice and art criticism since the turn of the Millennium.
Noah Becker is an American and Canadian editor, artist, and Jazz musician based in New York since 2005. Beyond Whitehot, Becker has exhibited work in a range of institutions worldwide, including the Vancouver Art Gallery in Canada.
Michael Maizels is an historian and critic whose work brings the visual art into collision with a broad range of disciplinary histories and potential futures. He is the author of four books, the most recent of which examines art, politics and markets in contemporary China.
