MODEL ARTISTS

Young good-looking 20- and 30-something American artists have been turning up in the pages of glossy magazines in the past few months. “Some people want to take these images as signs of the non-art world media’s renewed interest in the art world, and therefore of the return of an 1980’s-style art boom. But the glossified ’80’s artists were overwhelmingly male. The mediagenic artists of the oughties, as the current decade is sometimes called, are often women.”  – New York Times
