Reception[]

Hyperallergic LABS, its Tumblr blog, was named by Time magazine as one of the "30 Tumblrs to Follow in 2013".[2] The New Yorker critic Peter Schjeldahl has described the site as "infectiously ill-tempered".[3] Holland Cotter of the New York Times has also praised the site, crediting it with a revival in popular art criticism.[4] The publication was cited by the TED blog as one of "100 Websites You Should Know and Use" in 2007.[5] In 2018, Nieman Reports published an article outlining how Hyperallergic came to rival print art journalism, in which Sarah Douglas, the ARTnews editor in chief, said that Hyperallergic had reinvigorated art criticism.[6]
