The Rabkin Foundation awarded Christopher Knight its second lifetime achievement award, which comes with a $50,000 prize.
She called Knight “forthright, honest, informed and embedded, and I don’t know what the art world would do without him.”Knight was a critic at the Los Angeles Herald Examiner from 1980-89, but he began his career as an art historian and curator.
In the late 1970s, Knight was a curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. He also was a consultant to the Lannan Foundation and Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution in L.A. Knight received a bachelor’s degree in visual art and literature from Hartwick College in Oneonta, N.Y. He has a master’s degree in art history from the State University of New York.
The Rabkin Foundation was created in 1999, receiving a bequest from the estate of Leo Rabkin, an artist who with wife Dorothea collected American folk and outsider art. The foundation began awarding $50,000 prizes to visual art journalists across the country in 2017 based on nominations. Times staff writer Carolina Miranda was among the eight“It occurred to us that there were a few names that were so major and so obvious that they weren’t getting nominated,” Larsen said.
