Who's your top five artists, by cest on Jan 18, 2019 11:15:52 GMT 1, Kaws has already been around for 20 years and has Skarstedt and Perrotin as gallery reps. In order to make a call on the artists career, you have to take a look at the galleries and collectors that support them too. I've know of Swoon's work since 2008. She will be a career artist, but will never reach the heights of Kaws. I dont think swoon is blueship right now, but i do think she will be relevant in 20 years. kaws? Naw
My measure is placements in major modern art galleries. Both have them, but with the proliferation of female curators and corporate art buyers, i feel we will see a shift. Swoon will be mentioned in the top 5 of our generation.
Although i find her work a little bland and at times uninspiring, i find Kaws work loud and almost always uninspiring.

Answering your question as asked and not my personal Top five Artists. Also presuming you mean Urban/street art: Basquiat Haring Banksy Kaws Fairey
This list is basically correct if going back further and thinking about Street Art from it's inception. Problem is Haring and Basquiat have already been talking points for 20 years and why I didn't include them in my list.
I'm not so sure about Kaws and how he actually fits. Honestly I cant call to mind an actual 'street work' of his. I think he will likely be discussed in 20 years just not sure if it's for this scene.
I think Blek will be included due to originality and being in the beginning (although his later work is blah).
I think what JR has been doing is top notch and will only gain in popularity and prestige.
I need help with my fifth still though.

Kaws; "Donnelly began as a graffiti artist growing up in Jersey City, using the name Kaws.After moving to New York City in the 1990s, he started subvertising billboards, bus shelters and phone booths.He has also subvertised in Paris, London, Berlin and Tokyo."
I agree with you on JR & Blek, just not top 5 (answering the question by the OP) IMO.
