Hirst Tops Art World Power 100 List

by ARTINFO
Published: October 14, 2008

Damien Hirsts superbrand Science ranks first in ArtReview magazine’s seventh annual list of the art world’s “Power 100.” Following Hirst/Science are dealer Larry Gagosian and MoMA Associate Director Kathy Halbreich, the first woman to appear on her own in the top 10.

In a press release, the magazine pointed out the list’s response to changes in the art world, with emphasis on its shift eastward — reflected in the debuts of Russian collectors Roman Abramovich and Dasha Zhukova (54), the Beijing-based Long March Project (93), and Delhi-based gallerist Peter Nagy (95) — and the current credit crisis — as evidenced by the absence of longtime corporate art sponsors UBS and Deutsche Bank, which ranked 62 and 63 in 2007.

Notable artists on the list including Jasper Johns (9), Takashi Murakami (28), Banksy (63), Lucian Freud (66), and Cai Guo-Qiang (69).
