Top Ten: 1998 - 2008 by James Hoff

A collection of works by James Hoff, a Brooklyn-based artist and co-founder/director of the independent publishing house Primary Information.

Since April 1998, the art magazine Art Forum has, in nearly every issue, asked various members of the art world to compile a top ten list of their favorite recent exhibitions (or concerts, television shows, books, events, etc.). This is an artist's book in which Hof has re-edited the first ten years of this column into a new publication.

By removing all illustrations from the column, Hof draws attention to the written text and its rhetoric. The publication offers a casual, parallel view of the art world over the course of a decade, distilling how powerful cultural critics and producers are selected by Art Forum.

First edition of 200 copies.
