Every year for the past decade, we’ve nominated 20 to 30 artists aged 35 or under for the Young Artists list.
Some were already market-endorsed when they were featured, others surfaced from staunchly underground scenes. Some received MFAs from lauded programs, others were lifelong autodidacts. Their practices have been equally wide-ranging: Among the 247 artists featured since 2016 are a clown, a comedian, a stonemason, and an aspiring actor.
And the Young Artists list alums have continued to surprise us at every turn. Since being featured, they have ventured into new mediums, started bands, designed handbags, shown at every conceivable scale and in every conceivable climate. They’ve lost everything, called out the art world’s hypocrisies, and formed mutual aid networks while they were at it. To celebrate a decade of their accomplishments and ahead of the launch of next year’s list, we welcomed 27 Young Artists alums—representing every edition of the list thus far—for a reunion photoshoot at
