Donald Kuspit, Robert Pincus-Witten and Joseph Masheck were the art critics to read back in the mid 70s. Kuspit seemed to be writing everywhere for a couple of years, but Artforum was what carried the most weight, at least at NSCAD and we read the most. I remember running into him in the Scotia Square: Food Fair and having a bowl of soup with him. He seemed a bit out of his element, I think he was teaching at Chapel Hill in North Carolina at the time, but he must have spent a lot of time commuting to New York City.
