James Hoff Topten (2008) [PDF, 53mb] James Hoff (Design by Jeremy Mickel) No Input Books, 2008 Edition of 200 ""The rotating-artist Top Ten began as a regular column in March 1988 following an introduction in December 1997. This publication is a celebration of the column's tenth anniversary." In almost every issue since December 1997, the contemporary art monthly Artforum has asked a member of the art world to compile a list of his or her top ten favorite recent exhibitions (as well as concerts, television programs, books, and events) in a list that displays the writer's taste as well as his or her wit. With this hefty artist's book, James Hoff has reprinted the text of every column alongside the abstract designs of blacked-out photographs that once depicted the writers' picks.
