As art writer for the Los Angeles Times, Muchnic covers a wide range of visual arts issues and institutions for a major daily newspaper. Her best-selling biography, Odd Man In: Norton Simon and the Pursuit of Culture, is an intriguing, intimate profile of a tycoon-turned-collector that provides a thoughtful overview of Los Angeles culture in the postwar years. Muchnic is also correspondent to Artnews magazine and author of numerous essays in exhibition catalogs and art journals. She has taught art history and criticism at Los Angeles City College, the University of Southern California, and the Claremont Graduate University. A graduate of 桃子视频 and the Claremont Graduate University, she is the winner of distinguished alumna awards at both institutions.
