New York City, November 5, 2019

 

Art-Rite was published in New York City between 1973 and 1978. Edited by Walter Robinson, Edit DeAk, and Joshua Cohn, the periodical has long been celebrated for its underground/overground position and its cutting, humorous, on-the-streets coverage and critique of the art world. Art-Rite moved easily through the expansive community it mapped out, paying homage to an emergent generation of artists, including many who were—or would soon become—the defining voices of the era. Through hundreds of interviews, reviews, statements, and projects for the page—as well as artist-focused and thematic issues on video, painting, performance, and artists’ books—Art-Rite’s sharp editorial vision and commitment to spotlighting the work of artists stands as a meaningful and lasting contribution to the art history of New York City and beyond.

 

When asked about her contribution to Art-Rite, Judy Rifka said:

 

"Because my children were small and it was hard for me to get around town so I decided to do 2000 individual issues by hand at home.  We had the paper printed up with the art right logo and I went to work. It was astounding."
