Great Moments in the Art World in 2007

I really can’t believe that the end of 2007 is here, but I can’t argue with our spinning globe. It seems that just a few days ago I got used to the fact that it was 2007 and not 2006… Now I need to get used to a whole new year all over again!

Anyway, this is the time of the year that everyone tries to sum up what has happened in the past 12 months. I will try and add my impressions of the most important art events that occurred around us in the year 2007. Enjoy!
