Benjamin Genocchio (born 1969) is an art critic and non-fiction writer from Australia.[2] He is currently director of the Armory Show, a New York-based art fair.[1] Previously, he was editor-in-chief of Artnet News, an art news website. [3][4] He also worked as an art critic for The New York Times, and then as the editor-in-chief of Art+Auction magazine, Modern Painters magazine, and the website "artinfo.com".[5][6]
Family and education
Genocchio was born in Sydney, New South Wales, in 1969, the second of four sons of an Italian father, Giorgio, who worked on a cruise ship, and an Australian mother, Jennifer.[7] Genocchio grew up in Lane Cove[8] and attended Newington College from 1981 to 1986.[9] As a youth he had a short attention span and a low boredom threshold, traits he says led him to become an art critic.[10] Genocchio completed a PhD in history of art at the University of Sydney in 1996.[11][12][13] He is a citizen of Australia and Italy.[14]
Career
In late December 2002 Genocchio moved to New York to begin writing for The New York Times.[10] In 2008 Genocchio published Dollar Dreaming, an exposé of corruption and double-dealing in the $500-million trade in Aboriginal art in Australia and abroad.[15][16]
In early 2010 he became editorial director at Louise Blouin Media, and editor-in-chief of Art+Auction magazine, Modern Painters and artinfo.com. He left the post at Modern Painters in 2011.[17][dead link]
Genocchio left Blouin Media in January 2015[18] and joined Artnet, where he was made editor-in-chief of Artnet News, a 24-hour art news website.[19] In December 2015 he was appointed director of the Armory Show. [1]
Personal life
Genocchio is married to curator Melissa Chiu and lives in New York state.[20] The two co-authored Asian Art Now. [21]
