Holland Cotter of The New York Times reports the art world saw more art in more varieties than ever before in the last decade. From new contemporary art in China, to a growing appreciation for multiculturalism in the American art market; the art scene was flooded with new concepts in art and new exhibitions to promote them. Unfortunately, art was somewhat overshadowed by the terror of 9/11, two wars, episodes of corporate greed, a shaky economy, and the election of an African-American president. Cotter states “In short, life passed art by. Maybe in the new decade they’ll meet.”
