On Wednesday night, at a benefit to help fund upcoming projects, [The] X [Initiative] honored legendary dealer Paula Cooper and Picasso biographer John Richardson … [Richardson] unleashed a devastating attack on art history professor Rosalind Krauss, a vocal Richardson critic, who — Richardson cheerily noted — once suggested that he would “set Picasso studies back 50 years” through his work … “The history of art is usually taught as the history of artists, of movements, of styles,” Emory University art historian James Meyer told the crowd in his panegyric to Paula Cooper. “The dealer is the unsung hero of these narratives. The gallerist supports the artists morally and financially.”
