Terrence Pitts on Julia Curl’s “[Eugène Atget, Readymade Icon](https://hyperallergic.com/eugene-atget-readymade-icon/)”:

Julia Curl asks, in this excellent review: "Could someone in 2026 take the oeuvre of an early 2000s stock photographer and turn it into a contemporary masterpiece, precisely because of the alienation we feel from their world?" Look at the example of Vivian Maier, the self-taught amateur street photographer and nanny whose works were discovered after her death and immediately marketed as art.

Art-world people love lobbing this low-hanging critical fruit at the exhibition. This year especially, the moniker is ill-fitting and glib. | Hakim Bishara
