Roger Atwood
Journalist
and Author

I’m Roger Atwood.
I write about art, archaeology and culture for a wide variety of publications, often from Latin America or the Middle East. I’m a Contributing Editor for Archaeology magazine and a Correspondent for ARTnews. Welcome to my homepage - it’s about the only place I stand still.

 
 
FEATURED WORK

Read Roger's analysis of major newspapers' coverage of antiquities, delivered at Yale University in 2007 as the issue of questionable museum holdings was revving up.

Perhaps the oft-repeated complaints that American arts reporting is sinking into a morass of celebrity fluff are overstated. Newspapers are probing corruption at cultural institutions and finding some very bad stuff.
