Thus, in the first place ranking was James Franco (James Franco) - Actor ("Pineapple Express", "Harvey Milk" and the recent film about Allen Ginsberg Howl), as well as an artist, writer and inveterate party animal, regularly attending public events of major museums. The "losers" have defined it solely because, in spite of the weekly appearance in the news, it's ArtReview is not included.

Second place went to none other than ... copyright. "His train left. Forget about it and stop screw "- instructive advised to blog authors. The sad fate of copyright, in their opinion, will soon share and print media dedicated to art - give them the third spot. "[Well-known newspaper critics] Robert Smith, Jerry Salz, of course, included in the list of most influential people - but you somehow read this article not in the newspaper." True, the representatives of the online media rejoice too soon: sites about art, as well as blogs, twitter, etc., appear in the English-language online with a periodicity of "one per second." "Who will deal than your informative article differs from the tweets of your stupid cousin, who wrote about the work of art?" - Asks the authors antireytinga.

to nuts got a Chinese artist ("Can out of fashion? .. One Ai Weiwei's ArtReview entered "), art dealers, who do not know a word of Arabic," starhitektoram "who do not build, an orthodox Jewish graffiti artist and a Christian" conceptualists, minimalists, the creators of fake twitters celebrity art world, as well as those who have nothing to do with the gallery Deitch Projects, whose founder, Jeffrey Dyche (Jeffrey Deitch), not so long ago took over as director of the prestigious Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art.

And of course, the authors did not miss a case poyazvit about exhibitions fashion artist Dan Cole (Dan Colen), which completely sold out, even though the smasher. "Negative criticism", thus, found itself at the 17 th line of the list. Followed by "talent" and "ideas" - an example of Cole, as the authors state, a requirement of proof of their presence for commercial success.
