Hard Truths: Can an Artist Exact Revenge on a Dealer Treating Her Like a Pariah?

An artist seeks advice after severing a 25-year relationship with a gallery that enforced a restrictive two-year non-compete clause. Following the split, the artist discovered $50,000 in damaged inventory and alleged that the dealer lied to insurance companies while commissioning other artists to produce knockoffs of their work. A second inquiry involves a high-ranking art world figure distressed over being dropped from a prominent "Power 100" list, questioning whether to confront the publication.

Artists and Gulf royalty top ArtReview Power 100 list

ArtReview has released its 2025 Power 100 list, ranking the most influential figures in the art world over the past year. Artists dominate the top ten, with Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama taking the first place for using his art profits to build institutions and community spaces in Tamale. Other top artists include Wael Shawky, Ho Tzu Nyen, Amy Sherald, Kerry James Marshall, Forensic Architecture, and Wolfgang Tillmans. Gulf royalty also feature prominently: Sheikha Al-Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani of Qatar ranks second, and Sheikha Hoor Al Qasimi of Sharjah ranks third, reflecting the region's growing art-world influence. The list also includes academic Saidiya Hartman as a "thinker" in eighth place.
