American art criticism is art criticism taking place by Americans or by foreign writer in the United States.
The critics Clement Greenberg, Harold Rosenberg and Leo Steinberg described in The Painted Word during Late Modernism.
Peggy Guggenheim, Ivan Karp, Robert Scull, Robert Fraser, Henry Geldzahler, Leo Castelli, tastemakers of the 20th century, says Philippe Garner.
Since the 1980s, critics have been inspired by Georges Bataille and Gilles Deleuze. American art criticism as professed by Rosalind Krauss, Yve-Alain Bois and Hal Foster has been much influenced by Bataille. In fact, the whole of so-called French theory has had an enormous influence on postmodern American theory, much like German theory was influential in post-war France. See American reception of French theory.
