Dear Dan,
Thanks for your card & Guggie statement -- I take it'll be hearing from the Guggies for coronation and then I'll write them a letter saying now now, dont let his upset you will all those ideas, he's a very nice fellow who needs a little money. Listen, the truth is I dont know what a contributing editor is, or a managing editor, or an associate editor, or an executive editor or any other kind of editor. I use the title to mean that I've selected these writers who I'd like to have on my masthead and from whom I expect a certain amount of material every year ass who, theoretically, offer to ARTFORUM first choice on what they write. For about two of them, it works; the rest do what they please and Barbara, for example, collects magazines on which she's listed as a contributing editor. But, to answer your question, at the very least, the qualifications are that you accept the title critic, indeed define yourself that way; that you write articles periodically on a variety of subjects related to art; that you haven't yet attended enough parties to have Vogue offer you $1000.00 for an article.
