former director of the Museum of Glasgow art critic Julian Spalding ( Julian Spalding), commented on the survey results "very encouraging that the artists based on their own judgments and are not influenced by the art market. It is also encouraging that the list includes artists who can truly be called influential, because it is not clear: how can someone in the affected Damien Hirst (Damien Hirst)? His path is not promising. When it comes to implementation of creative ideas, it turns out that there is nothing to learn from him. Inspire those who created something. I think Hockney at the top of the list because it not only makes the real thing, but enthusiastic, willing to continue to seek and create. And this is what inspires. It is valuable because it does, but not by themselves as promoting ».

dealer David Judah (David Juda), representing David Hockney, said:" This is one of the most pleasant news a long time - and not because he [Hockney] one of my artists. This shows that the number of PR or breaks on the head of the public, she is still his own head on his shoulders. With that PR, which is at Hirst and Emin ... amazing results ».
