Art Guggenheim Annouces Nominees of Inaugural Art Awards

Obviously, this format is just as fraught with problems when applied to art as it is for film—like, does it really make sense to nominate Louise Bourgeois for Artist of the Year when she should probably get a lifetime achievement award while she can still accept it in person?—but it's also the kind of exciting and high-visibility event that the contemporary art world should really already have (because, let's face it, reading about who got the latest art grant isn't much fun). The event, presented by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, White Columns and Studio in a School, goes down on October 29.
