Blake Gopnik is an author, critic and art historian based in New York. The Guardian declared 

Gopnik's definitive biography of Andy Warhol a "mesmerizing book, as much art history and philosophy as it is biography," while his latest book, The Maverick's Museum: Albert Barnes and his 

American Dream, was headlined in the New York Times as a "Vivid, Engrossing Biography of an Art World Contrarian." Gopnik was the longtime chief art critic of the Washington Post and then 

Newsweek and is now a contributing critic at the New York Times. He has a PhD in art history from the University of Oxford.
