Various and former guest bloggers and columnists are posting their top ten lists for 2010 over on the Art:21 blog. Here's mine - check out the rest of them for a global roundup of contemporary art events and other fabulous things I most likely missed last year.

[Nauman's video (still, left) is from Courtenay Finn's exhibition You Can't Get There from Here but You Can Get Here from There, at ApexArt.]

EDIT: My guest blog post from last May, "On Teaching Art to Scientists," is #5 on Art:21's  "Most Viewed Posts of 2010" list! Check out the original post here.

Cate McQuaid summarizes the past year's Boston gallery shows and Sebastian Smee covers Massachusetts museums.
