Critic Criticized

It was very disappointing to read Leah Ollman’s irresponsible review of the current exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego.

I respect an art critic’s right to critique, but not to load a review with inappropriate assaults on an institution and its staff.

I further found the references to Mr. Koch’s collection to be uneducated and in embarrassingly bad taste. I suggest that every museum and the general public deserves more objective and enlightened reviews in the future.
