Andrew Berardini (born August 21, 1982) is an American writer known for his work as a visual art critic and curator in Los Angeles. Described as "the most elegant of all art critic cowboys",[1] Berardini works primarily between genres, which he describes as "quasi-essayistic prose poems on art and other vaguely lusty subjects."[2]

He has published articles and essays in publications such as frieze, Mousse, Fillip, Artforum, ArtReview, Art-Agenda, Paper Monument, Art in America, Public Fiction, Rolling Stone (Italy), Die Welt and the LA Weekly.[3] A graduate with an MFA in Writing from the School of Critical Studies at California Institute of the Arts, Berardini has lectured on Art History and Cultural Production at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc),[4] and has been faculty at the Mountain School of Arts since 2008, in addition to guest lecturing widely. He previously held the position of assistant editor of Semiotext(e) Press[5] and is currently Los Angeles editor for Mousse,[6] senior editor for Artslant,[7] contributing editor for Momus and Art-Agenda, and co-founder of the Art Book Review. As a curator, Berardini held appointments at the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena[8] and LAXART in Los Angeles and in 2013 he organized and co-organized exhibitions at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris,[9] the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles,[10] and the Castello di Rivoli in Turin.[11]

He is the past recipient of an Andy Warhol/Creative Capital Grant and the 221A Curatorial Residency.

In 2016, he was appointed writer-in-residence at the Institute for Art and Olfaction[12] in Los Angeles and appointed a judge for the Sadakichi Award for Experimental Work with Scent for the Art and Olfaction Awards.[13]
