Nan Goldin

Today ArtReview announced its Power100 list, the magazine’s annual roundup of the 100 most influential figures in the art world. The list is juried by a secret panel of 40 individuals spread across the globe.
This year, the number one spot goes to photographer and activist Nan Goldin (up from the 8th spot in 2022), reflecting the artist’s growing influence following the Oscar-nominated biographical documentary about her campaign around the opioid crisis. Goldin is currently the subject of a retrospective, “This Will Not End Well,” at The Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and a solo show, “Full Moon,” at Gagosian in Basel. Gagosian started representing the artist earlier this year, alongside Fraenkel Gallery.

Goldin’s top spot reflects the large presence of artists across the list broadly: There are 34 artists and 4 collectives featured, including the entire top 10, which is as follows:
- Nan Goldin (up from 8 in 2022)
- Hito Steyerl (up from 4)
- Rirkrit Tiravanija (up from 86)
- Simone Leigh (up from 7)
- Isaac Julien (up from 52)
- Ibrahim Mahama (up from 47)
- Theaster Gates (up from 18)
- Steve McQueen (up from 27)
- Karrabing Film Collective (up from 21)
- Cao Fei (up from 12)
The strong presence of artists is particularly notable compared to earlier versions of the list: In 2016, for instance, only 23 artists made the cut.
The most influential gallerist or dealer in 2023, according to the Power 100, is Larry Gagosian, ranked 12 and up from 20 in 2022. He is followed by Iwan Wirth, Manuel Wirth, and Marc Payot of Hauser & Wirth (14; ranked 17 last year), David Zwirner (19; ranked 9 last year), and Pace Gallery’s Marc Glimcher (20; ranked 23 last year). Other notable gallerists on the list include the founders of Sprüth Magers, Thaddaeus Ropac, Mendes Wood DM, kurimanzutto, Kukje Gallery, Take Ninagawa, and Gallery 1957, among others.
With 16 gallerists featured this year, less than half the number of artists, the list suggests a power dynamic in the art world today that favors artists over gallerists. Curators and museum directors also outnumber gallery leaders on the list.

Several influential collectors and arts patrons are also named, including Maja Hoffman (28), Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo (58) and Julia Stoschek (82), among others.
New entries on the list this year include writer and photographer Teju Cole (90), AI artist Refik Anadol (60), and Stefanie Hessler, curator at New York’s Swiss Institute (100).
Next year’s Venice Biennale has also already made an impact: John Akomfrah, who will represent the U.K., and Jeffrey Gibson, who will represent the U.S., are both featured (33 and 63, respectively), as is the main exhibition’s curator, Adriano Pedrosa (15).
