Hello, world? Never mind you - us anglo-americans are the center of the Artyverse? Ha
How naïve it is to even propose that this list of salon-approved elitists selling out to the highest bidder would present anything but a weird, skewed picture of the editors playing in the backyard they think belongs to the biggest boys.
Please, why dont you honestly admit that your idea of "the art world" is same as art business.
Or - the list of recycled postmodernists for art-profiteering? These people where the bees-knees in 1988.
I'm not convinced.
Verdict: Out-of-touch. Possible profiteering.
Here is the list in entirety, quoted from The Independent.
