10 artworks that stole the show at L.A. museums in 2024

What is there to learn from one critic’s list of hits from 2024? Not a lot perhaps, apart from highlighting some new names. On further inspection, though, the list is a reasonable summary of art world preoccupations. Identity is prominent (no surprise). Assertive, confident work by women artists is another. Technology, Indigenous art and Renaissance art all make an appearance. An equally arbitrary list of the “best” art shows in NY places its bets similarly.
