Benjamin Genocchio (born 1969) is an Australian art critic, editor, and non-fiction writer based in New York, United States. He is editor-in-chief of Incollect Magazine.[1]

He worked as an art critic for The New York Times, and then as editor-in-chief of Art+Auction magazine, Modern Painters magazine and the website "artinfo.com".[2][3] He was director of the Armory Show until November 2017, when he was let go following allegations of sexual harassment,[4] which he denied.[5] He was previously editor-in-chief of Artnet News, where he also faced accusations of sexual harassment.[5][6][7][8]

From October to December 2021, he was director-at-large for Shoshana Wayne Gallery in Los Angeles and New York City, until he became editor-in-chief at Incollect.[9][1]

Family and education

Genocchio was born in Sydney in 1969. He is the second of four sons of an Italian father, Giorgio, who worked on a cruise ship, and an Australian mother, Jennifer.[10] Genocchio grew up in Lane Cove[11] and attended Newington College from 1981 to 1986.[12] As a youth he had a short attention span and a low boredom threshold, traits he says led him to become an art critic.[13] Genocchio completed a PhD in history of art at the University of Sydney in 1996.[14][15] He is a citizen of Australia and Italy.[16]

Career

In 1997, Genocchio became the Sydney art critic for The Australian, Australia's daily newspaper. He also worked as the paper's chief art critic and, later, national arts correspondent, covering art and culture in Australia and abroad.[17]

In 2001, Genocchio wrote Solitaire, the first monograph dedicated to contemporary Indigenous Australian artist Fiona Foley, whose work reflects her Badtjala cultural heritage.[18]
