Sadie Coles is a mainstay on this list; known for her commitment to her artists, and her energy in locating young, interesting talents, she is a gallerist with vision and international clout. She consistently puts on impressive shows by her stable of artists in her two spaces in Mayfair, while heavy hitters continue to get the big institutional treatment: Elizabeth Peyton’s Live Forever toured to London’s Whitechapel this summer and is now at the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht. Peyton also collaborated with gallery artist Matthew Barney on performance-art piece Blood of Two on Hydra in Greece over the summer.
