It seems that to be a modern artist nowadays one must produce conceptual video, photography or installation. Call me old-fashioned but I still like paintings.
1. Peter Doig (b.1959)
2. Luc Tuymans (b.1958)
3. Jenny Saville (b.1970)
4. John Currin (b.1962)
5. Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988)
6. Marlene Dumas (b.1953)
7. Cecily Brown (b.1969)
8. Michaël Borremans (b.1963)
9. Harland Miller (b.1964)
10. Adrian Ghenie (b.1977)
Wot no David Hockney, Gerhard Richter or Paula Rego? Nope, only artists born after 1950.
