After a not-quite-voluntary hiatus, Daily Progress art critic Ruth Latter is back in today’s paper. Latter’s column was last seen August 23, and the disappearance of the reviewer from the paper’s pages for which she’d written over 50 years had the art community abuzz and fearing the worst– that she’d been fired.

But Progress editors say she was merely on a break, and even the indefatigable Latter concedes that at 81, it’s time to slow down from whipping out a weekly column. She’ll now appear monthly.
