I would put the question more broadly - if needed at all such a list?

Or ... who needs such a list?

Top Ten - only art managers, top twenty have not changed since last year ...

Well, yes and I have - who needs this list except for those who got it?

I have an answer to this question, but I will not until his voice.

I think this is a trend of our time, from the TV ratings "very , very ," to all kinds of tops. If the criteria do not , you can create lists of up to infinity.
We can reformulate the question: " what is the criterion in the ranking of the most influential ?"
 What do you mean " most influential "? Affect the market? the fashion in art , develop a new style ? Have an authoritative opinion? attract the largest number of viewers' attention ?........
By the way, is about the " need - not needed ", I think that is still needed. Too great a flow of information, any rating one way or another helps navigate the robot, especially those on the periphery of the flow.
Any rating - the subject of analysis , and different , economic , artistic, psychological , etc.
The views expressed by you and Selena - this is just an example of psychological analysis : who are seeking and what the drafters of the rating , that is - the identity and motive :)>

Rather, "... in Russian today art."

And there is the Russian not modern art?

Here , in the same ArtChronika read:
ArtReview magazine chose the one hundred most influential people in the arts .

But the magazine "Time", for example , creates a simple rating of the most influential people in the world , and nothing else.

In anticipation ...

This is a group that deals with what is called " actual art ", and within this movement are influential. Lists , ratings , etc. - Way to keep their names "on the ear ."

Yes, the answer to the surface, then a deep drop is not worth it.
This must be the very first magazine . And another pair of top three people on the list ( there are fans find themselves in the rankings and magazine wants them to be on good terms ). All . Sense for the business in this no .
And I am not in terms of critics now writing - a normal attempt to create newsworthy.
