For years I always wrote a post in late December about the best art I had seen that year. When I worked for ArtPrize I got to travel to art fairs, biennials, and various cities where I visited museums and galleries. When Covid hit in 2020 ArtPrize was canceled and I left that job.

The Best Art I Saw in 2020 (sort of), part 2
It’s been an unusual year, and this is an unusual version of my annual blog post about the best artworks I saw.

But I still think it’s worth keeping a log of the exhibitions and artworks that movedContinueContinue reading “The Top Ten Exhibitions and Artworks I Saw in 2017”
