Who is the Australian art world’s most powerful person? In the first of our polls leading up to the release of The Power Trip: Australia’s Most Powerful People we’re throwing open the nominations [so far] to a vote. Register your vote at right on the homepage [just under the archive drop down menu], leave comments below with other nomination… and let the fighting begin.
Want to win a prize? You can nominate up to ten people on your own list of the most powerful. Leave them below, or send them to us at: the art life at hot mail dot com. The winner of the best, most original, credible and/or amusing list will win a mint condition copy of MONAISM, the catalogue of the first hang of the collection Museum of Old and New Art back whenever that was. This handsome volume comes factory-sealed in its own MONA-branded carry bag and includes a CD of songs performed at the opening by those guys who used to be TISM.
No one in the art world is powerful.
Renny Kodgers is hands down the most powerful person in the Australian art world.
Australia’s most significant Land Artist: Gina Rinehart.
