The Best of the Best of 2007
Posted by Kelly
It's end of the year list making time, and I couldn't resist making one of my own. So here are a few of my favorite items from this year's lists.
• From
Time
magazine's list
of the Top 10 Nonfiction Books of 2007, "
A Life of Picasso: The Triumphant Years: 1917-1932
" by John Richardson (608 pages, $40 list price, $26.40 on Amazon). This third installment of a multi-volume biography chronicles "Picasso's transition from his Bohemian youth to wealth, fame and marriage, and then to a romance with a very young mistress."
• From
InStyle.com's list
of the Best Gifts for Book Lovers, "
30,000 Years of Art
" by the editors of Phaidon Press (1072 pages, $49.95 list price, $29.97 on Amazon). The cool thing about this anthology is that it arranges pieces from around the world on time lines of major world events and art movements, offering you a unique look at what was happening at different times around the globe.
• Time.com also put together a list of the
Top Ten Museum Exhibits of 2007
, which doesn't do you much good, I suppose, if you missed them, but it was interesting to see the artists and styles that drew attention this year.
• And
The New York Times
critics published their picks for the
best art and architecture books of the year
. More good ideas if you still have some holiday shopping to do—or just need a good book to read this winter.
Are there any other art-related year end lists that I've missed? I'd love to hear about them. Click on Comments below to let me know. (By the way, you don't have to fill in your e-mail, if you don't want it published.)

I read a list of best art networking sites and Deviantart was at the top. However, I think this guy is doing a much better job http://www.myartspace.com/balhatain/
