But establishing a cutoff was the point: it forced voters to define this moment\u2019s priorities. The rather weak showing of artists who can be easily defined\u2014as a \u201cpainter,\u201d for example, or a \u201cphotographer\u201d\u2014is a defining part of the portrait. (Those artists would have done better in a larger sampling.) What, after all, would you call Nauman,Sherman, or Hammons? What is Weiwei? Or Kentridge? Are Baldessari and Ruscha only painters? Conceptual art doesn\u2019t cover it. The phrase is a meaningless catchall. The preference for artists who are not tied to one genre or another, or who move among genres, reflects an impatience with customary boundaries and scales, perhaps because staying within the lines seems an insufficient response to today\u2019s world. Floaters\u2014and Richter and Johns, despite being painters, have a lot of \u201cfloat\u201d in their sensibilities\u2014can more easily piece together a postmodern \u201cI\u201d that seems to fit the moment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A poll among artists to identify who are the greatest living artists.
