Jerry Saltz (below), Senior Art Critic for New York magazine and regular Saatchi Online magazine contributor selects his top 10 hits of the year including the Whitney for its outstanding series of exhibitions, and a performance by Matthew Barney - 'On a Sunday afternoon in April, in a raw ground-floor cold-water loft twenty feet from the East River, Matthew Barney staged an extraordinary performance. A spellbound crowd watched him walk around slowly with a dog on his head; two half-naked women bent over backward in order to urinate in an arc, a marching band wore terrorist masks; a huge bull attempted to mate with a 1967 Chrysler.'
