Art of the Year 2017, by tech on Dec 7, 2017 2:48:06 GMT 1, My vote for artist of the year is Swoon for me as her retrospective show here in Cincinnati was massive and she was only the second female artist to get two floors to exhibit work. She has been everywhere this year and still maintains a great street presence and now major museums are taking notice of her work. She is on nothing short of a massive upward trajectory in her career.
Artwork i'd say Pejac "Scattercrow" as well

He’s dead, the fact that (well, let’s say it’s by him) a 500 year old painting of his, and let’s be honest, not his best, sold for a whopping $450 million is hardly an accomplishment by the artist, it’s more a good illustration that the world has gone mad. If the question was, what was the number one auction result this year there would have been no debate. Secondly, and again I understand that people will bring up non urban artists, the fact that we’re all here for urban art kinda dictates that you would come up with a living urban artist. But maybe OP should have said so and he didn't so I'll just shut up..
Indeed I should delete my completely serious post immediately and exit stage left.

But maybe OP should have said so and he didn't so I'll just shut up.. I'll disagree, respectfully, as I believe that Salvator Mundi was the artwork of the year well before it even sold.
Given all the noise in the world, it is very rare for an artwork to cut through and become something in the public consciousness. 'Piss Christ' by Andres Serrano did that three decades ago. 'Obama Hope' by Fairey did it as well. Salvator Mundi became something, it transcended being a mere painting and became an icon of these times for good, and more so, for bad reasons. The context of this work highlights issues of authenticity in the modern world, authorship, ethics, expertise income inequality, the place of religion in the modern world, media manipulation, social media marketing, income inequality, geopolitics, etc., etc., etc.
I can't think of an artwork that has come close to Salvator Mundi since Obama Hope.
And, I think it is garbage and, in a 'straight' world, would have no-sold.

The only reason Salvator Mundi became public consciousness is money. Nothing else.
It didn’t transcend anything. It played nicely into the greed of humanity.

It played nicely into the greed of humanity. Again, I'll disagree. It transcended being a painting, known by the relatively small population that follows the arts, into watercooler talk. It went into pop culture, comedian monologues, etc. Friends, whose extent of art history knowledge is that the Mona Lisa is ugly, were calling me about it, a couple even went to see it in NYC and stood in the four-hour line.
We play in a small sandbox. The art world is small, genres even smaller. When something escapes the sandbox and becomes 'public', that is a big deal.
As to greed, there is a ton of that around. But, if you look at it, there is much more.

The reason it escaped the sandbox was money. It’s ‘value’.
It sure wasn’t it being a exquisite Leonardo or an exquisite image.
Money that fed the hype that brought ‘outsiders’ focus on it. That’s what brought attention, that’s what brought awareness. Quite simple.
