Art Review: 2011 Power 100

As the BCS readies to release the rankings in this year’s college football landscape, Art Review

As the BCS readies to release the rankings in this year’s college football landscape, Art Review has a similar list, albeit for the power players in the art world. While they don’t claim it as a “best of” compilation, they do admit to it being “a guide to the general trends, networks and forces that shape the artworld.” Below is the top 10, with Chinese contemporary artist, Ai Weiwei, taking over the top spot. Notably absent is anyone from the graffiti world, which is seemingly another slap in the face to an art form that has defined a generation. Head over to the Art Review 100 to see the complete list.

1. Ai Weiwei
2. Hans Ulrich Obrist & Julia Peyton-Jones
3. Glenn D. Lowry
4. Larry Gagosian
5. Anton Vidokle, Julieta Aranda & Brian Kuan Wood
6. Nicholas Serota
7. Cindy Sherman
