MICHAEL HOPPEN, founder of the Michael Hoppen Gallery in London, specialising in the sale and exhibition of 19th, 20th and 21st century photography
Francis Bacon at Tate Britain, London
Quite simply one of the best shows I have seen of his - and obviously I really thought the photography room was so relevant and informative. FANTASTIC!
Tim Walker at the Design Museum, London
A very positive thinker and very British show - so good to SEE someone really making pictures again rather than taking pictures - he's a craftsman and makes the sun shine!
Duchamp, Man Ray, Picabia at Tate Modern, London
Beautifully curated and hung and one of the better Man Ray selections we have seen with an extraordinary array of works and objects well presented.
Saul Leiter at Faggionato, London
An eloquent show by a little known American artist - wonderful.
CORNELIA PARKER artist, represented by the Frith Street Gallery, London
Duchamp, Man Ray, Picabia at Tate Modern, London
I visited this truly wonderful, funny and surprisingly poignant, exhibition three times, once for each of them.
Louise Bourgeois, Doris Salcedo, great female double-header at Tate Modern, London
It was endlessly fascinating watching visitors pose for photos with their foot or head stuck in 'the crack', or lying on the floor holding onto the edge, a perfect metaphor for our times.
Anya Gallacio's wonderful tree installation at Camden Arts Centre, London. She crammed the physical immensity of a forest into the hushed space of the gallery.
Martin Creed, Duveen Gallery commission Tate Britain, London
Great to see the shocked faces of unsuspecting visitors in contemplative mode, as they narrowly miss being mowed down by a speeding runner. My 7-year-old daughter Lily especially loved this piece
Peter Doig at Tate Britain, London
His breathtaking paintings of sinister dark woods and blinding snow scenes, never fail to move.
RICHARD PRINCE American artist represented by Barbara Gladstone in New York and Sadie Coles in London. A retrospective of his work was at the Guggenheim in New York from 28 September 2007 to 9 January 2008.
My favorite show was Picasso at the Grand Palais in Paris.
