I am aware that much of the sentiment is divided by class: the letters' signatories are mostly artists, the letters' detractors are mostly their dealers and collectors. This is not a new rift in the art world, but Palestine seems to have deepened it beyond repair. Jay tells me that the magazine's publishers are putting together a statement, and he asks me to write something describing my missteps, something I could post on Artforum's website and to my personal Instagram. "And if I say no?" I ask. "Hopefully it won't come to that," he tells me. I walk downtown to clear my head. What can I say? I don't like the barely veiled threat, and I'm not sorry. Two weeks earlier, I cringed watching Samira Nasr, the editor of Harper's Bazaar, post an apology for an Instagram story. stating that Israel cutting off Gazans' access to water and power "is the most inhuman thing I've seen in my life". To me it's simple: my job is to position the magazine correctly in the current of history. We have done the right thing.
