Top Ten 2011 THE YEAR IN ART by Jerry Saltz:
“The Cold War, 1950s brushstrokes and a pickup artist run amok.
1. The Clock, Christian Marclay
Imagine Darren Aronofsky onstage at the Academy Awards next February, announcing, “And the winner for Best Picture is . . . Christian Marclay’s The Clock.” Movie stars would be dumbstruck; the art world would cheer. Marclay’s film, painstakingly assembled out of time-specific clips from classic movies, was a 24-hour odyssey of chronology.”
