This is from Flash Art, and should make a lot of people very, very happy:
Holland Cotter has been awarded the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Criticism. Cotter is staff critic at the New York Times and although his writing has covered many subjects across the art world he is noted for approaching “non-western” art, helping the increased interest in the ’90s in contemporary art from India and China.
Cotter also collaborated with the International Association of Art Critics, and earlier in his career worked as contributing editor of Art in America and as editorial associate at Art News.
Cotter receives $10,000 as part of the prize and is noted for being the first art critic to receive the prize for 35 years.
