ArtReview: POWER 100 HOW DO YOU DEFINE POWER IN ART?
POWER 100 HOW DO YOU DEFINE POWER IN ART?
Who was the highest bidder? What artists are driving the market? Which galleries and collectors dominate the sector?
ArtReview’s Power 100 answers those questions. Now entering its fifth
year, ArtReview Power 100, published each November, is one of the
contemporary art world’s key cultural events.
Last year, the ArtReview Power 100 reached millions of people worldwide
after being picked up by national and international media across the
globe.
THE 2006 POWER 100

In 2005, the ArtReview Power 100 received unprecedented global
coverage, ensuring its status as an annual contemporary art event. To
satisfy demand and interest, the 2006 ArtReview Power 100 will be much
more expansive than in the past, including collector profiles,
Q&A’s, articles on the balance of power in the art world by
respected critics and writers and, naturally, compelling imagery
throughout.
ArtReview will also reinforce the print edition with online virals, PR
events and happenings. ArtReview Power 100 will enjoy an increase in
its global distribution to ensure unprecedented coverage and to meet
demand from the global contemporary art audience.
THE UNVEILING
This year’s ArtReview Power 100 will be the biggest yet – more pages,
more pictures and more features by respected critics on the balance of
power in contemporary art. To ensure the most coverage and publicity,
the Power 100 2006 will be unveiled during the London’s annual
contemporary art week (12-16 October), precisely when the art world’s
most prestigious patrons – many of whom will be listed in the Power 100
- - are in town.
SILENT PANEL
A silent panel of respected writers, critics and curators spread across
the globe will compile this year’s ArtReview Power 100. As such, the
list will be more global than ever before, reflecting the increasing
reach of the art trade and emerging capitals within it. The panellists
are working from behind the scenes from a long-list of hundreds of
potential candidates.
FEATURES
In addition to devoting space to each individual in the ArtReview Power
100, the November issue explores the nuances of power. Features include:
