To create this list, I took every visual artist (with the exception of feature filmmakers) from best visual arts, architecture, and photography lists as well as the lists of best visual artists, contemporary artists, architects and photographers, and arranged them in chronological order by the artist’s date of birth (estimated in some cases). I then listed the paintings, sculptures, buildings, photographs or other works of art associated with that artist on the various lists. I have also provided the locations for items housed or located in the real world (i.e., outside museum collections).
