Art's 2008 Power 100 List, by alsbabar on Oct 14, 2008 1:02:03 GMT 1, List of the top 100 powerful artists, collectors, galleries etc in the world
Science aka Damien Hirst is Number 1 Banksy is Number 63 in the list
Full list and article here:
www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2008/10/14/baartists214.xml
Who are artโs top 100 most powerful people? Mark Rappolt finds out
To most people, contemporary art is a world of anarchic โ and sometimes buffoonish โ freedom. # 2008 Power 100 List in full
Todayโs artists make a living out of piling up bricks, pickling fish, gluing diamonds on to skulls, โexhibitingโ the mess in their bedrooms and getting people to jog around galleries for reasons that remain, at best, mysterious.
And we go to galleries to experience a reciprocal sense of freedom: to swoon before beauty, shudder before ugliness, reflect on whether or not all this stuff is telling us anything about the modern world, and perhaps wonder how these lazy jokers get away with it all. Anything goes.
Appearances, however, can be deceiving. The truth is that anything doesnโt go.
The things we see in our museums and galleries are filtered, selected and presented to us through a complex network of dealers, collectors, patrons, museum directors and, occasionally, artists.
A recent American survey found that the nation was home to more artists than lawyers or doctors. Weโll never hear of or see most of them. advertisement
So who are the people who decide which artists become famous and what art we get to see? For the past seven years ArtReview has published a list of the 100 most powerful people in the art world in an effort to make this more transparent.
And sitting on top of the 2008 rankings, released tomorrow, is shark-pickling BritArt superstar Damien Hirst.
As investment bank Lehman Brothers was going under in the middle of last month, Hirst raised ยฃ111 million at a groundbreaking (because artists traditionally sell new works though their galleries) auction of his work at Sothebyโs.
Ploughing your money into art, it seems, is safer than putting it in a bank.
All of which is why Hirst has risen above his primary dealers โ gallerists Larry Gagosian from America (number 2) and White Cubeโs Jay Jopling (6) โ as well as Tate director Sir Nicholas Serota (4). He simply doesnโt need them any more.
Hirst is also a good example of how contemporary art reflects modern life. Like our shopping centres, our art world is dominated by superbrands: Hirst in Europe, Jeff Koons in America and the Japanese artist Takashi Murakami (whose recent American retrospective included a Louis Vuitton boutique selling Murakami-designed fashionwear).
Koons and Murakami are in 11th and 28th position on the list respectively, and reflect the increasing dominance of artists equipped with large, factory-like production studios.
The flip side of all this is a desire for something more โauthenticโ and less about branding, one reason why graffiti artist Banksy crashes on to the list at number 63.
While he probably didnโt imagine that the kind of thing he once daubed on walls would now sell at auction for hundreds of thousands of pounds, winning fans (and collectors) including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the market-savvy Hirst clearly did: he snapped up several Banksys some years ago.
Following in Banksyโs trail, โstreet artโ exhibitions have become all the rage, notably at Tate Modern this summer. Where the market moves, museums often follow.
So who are the marketโs movers and shakers? As in every other luxury market, the Russians are starting to dominate. This summer Roman Abramovich splurged ยฃ17.2 million on a Lucian Freud.
As a result, Abramovich (and girlfriend Dasha Zhukova, who is compiling a collection for her new contemporary art centre in Moscow) enter the list at number 54, while Ukrainian steel tycoon Victor Pinchuk, who funded the Ukrainian pavilion at the 2007 Venice Biennale and has been on one of this yearโs biggest spending-sprees, is number 67. So what next?
Well, the answer might be Thomas Kinkade, the kitsch American artist who has crept on to the list at number 100. Before his Sothebyโs sale, Hirst claimed that his decision to bypass his dealers and sell direct via auction was an exercise in making his art available to everyone.
But while Hirst sells through swanky galleries and posh auction houses, Kinkade sells his art in shopping malls and via the QVC shopping channel.
Where Hirst has a studio, Kinkade has a network of โmaster-craftsmenโ who produce many of the works in a range that spans from prints to paintings.
It was estimated a few years back that one in 20 American households owns one of his works.
Hirst is hot on Kinkadeโs tail: heโs in the process of opening a new shop in London.

Art's 2008 Power 100 List, by alsbabar on Oct 14, 2008 1:11:40 GMT 1, read it and decide for yourself
its about the most powerful people in the art world. Banksy is not motivated by money, however to be in amongst the top 100, at number 63, says a lot about how he is viewed within the art world and the impact his works has.

Art's 2008 Power 100 List, by stickee on Oct 14, 2008 1:22:05 GMT 1, Ok I read and its a very strange list to compile and really has little to do with art and more about who has the most money to spend on art...golf clap to all those on the list!
I might of read this wrong but Banksy at 63 is not a view but is this not just a
(artist) this is how much I have made (buyer) this is how much I have spent list?
And nothing to do with if the artists are any good and what the tastes of the buyers are like and if their "investments" have risen in value?

Art's 2008 Power 100 List, by bennyhedgehog on Oct 14, 2008 2:43:40 GMT 1, Of the people that matter, imho, comes in at around 18 - which is even better...
I see Abrahmovich has made it on to the list, not sure Scolari has made that much of an impact, one lucky free-kick and it's art all of a sudden?

Art's 2008 Power 100 List, by crazyarsemother on Oct 14, 2008 8:38:25 GMT 1, An interesting list. Nice post Alsbabar. It is hard to know on basis the artist is there. Amazed to see Liam Gillick and no James Turrell. Buying and then transforming an actual volcaneo must get you on the 100. Hmmmmm Jasper Johns. The true mesiah. Some things never change.

Art's 2008 Power 100 List, by raiden on Oct 15, 2008 18:37:52 GMT 1, Cartrain? What??
Of course lists like this art created basically to be argued.... so...
No Shepard Fairey??? I think he deserves a nod in the artist category over the ones who have been listed - particularly given that his Obama image has become one of the most iconic political images in American history, he's worth a bloody fortune, has crossed into mainstream fashion, and is basically a factory in and of himself.
Another one that I'm miffed by on the artist side... Paul McCarthy (and I know he's not the former Beatle) First, he's another artist on this list I'm saying to myself - is he still even alive? (Okay that's not fair, he was born in 1945, but still, his most significant pieces came before I was born!)
Not to take away from Paul McCarthy's unique (and oh how unique) role in modern art and performance art, but he's not the factor he once was in contemporary art by any means. Trying to not draw an analogy that unfairly slights McCarthy, putting him on the list would be analogous to putting Tony Bennett on a list of Pop Music's 100 Power list! (I think that analogy pretty much sums up my point well)
But one thing I must salute....
Thomas Kinkade hanging in there at number 100!!! (barf)

Art's 2008 Power 100 List, by raiden on Oct 15, 2008 23:17:27 GMT 1, Oh one other thing...
Why no Steve Lazarides? I can think of other gallerists in urban art who I would say deserve mention as well, but for sake of argument, I'll just taking Steve for a second... his roster is clearly better than David Zwirner.
I can't see how they rank Banksy and then put David Zwirner at #7 when not a single one of his artists makes the list... plus Zwirmer's top five clients can't command a fraction of the prices or attention of Steve's roster. Zwirmer's freshest client is Dzama, who is substantially less prolific and has seen his prices stagnate.
Whatever, why waste my time on stupid lists.
