ART+AUCTION THE POWER ISSUE BLOUINARTINFO.COM DECEMBER 2016 2016 POWER HIGH-WATTAGE WOMEN

WHEN FRANCES MORRIS TOOK THE REINS of Tate Modern in London in January of this year, 2016 the art world took notice. She was not only the first Brit but also the first female to direct the 71 vaunted art venue, highlighting how rare it is for female curators to achieve such recognition, despite the critical roles they play in the success of the institutions they serve. (According to the most recent study on the topic, released by the Association of Art Museum Directors, 75 percent of institutions with budgets in excess of $15 million are still helmed by men.) When it comes to female artists, there is also catching up to do. It has been two years since Georgia O’Keeffe’s Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1, 1932, set the bar for a work by a female artist at auction when it sold at Sotheby’s New York in November 2014 for $44.4 million. Impressive as that sum may be, it was far too low to make our list of the top 40 most expensive paintings of all time in this issue’s POWER Databank column, which includes a dozen works by Pablo Picasso alone. D e s p i t e t h e statistics, we found in formulating our 2016 power list that the old-boy network is starting to yield. This is particularly true when it comes to the major auction houses, where several key appointments have been made over the past 18 months. Here and in the galleries, more and more women are making inroads, and in the process shaping the global cultural dialogue. —THE EDITORS
