Last year, ARTINFO’s staff began the tradition of creating artist-inspired hand turkeys to celebrate Thanksgiving. Our 2012 drawings and collages interpreted the styles of art history’s most famous figures, from Frida Kahlo to Damien Hirst and Vincent van Gogh to Jean-Michel Basquiat. This year, we decided to look to the present, reflecting on some of the contemporary art world’s biggest newsmakers and market players (we’ve made a few allowances for crossover celebrities like newcomer Lady Gaga and the ever-elusive James Franco). The hand turkey line-up you see here is our staff’s way of giving thanks to all the artists and machers who made 2013 unforgettable.
