The Top 100 rank

One can rank artists according to objective data and career facts. As a result, the algorithm presents a reasoned overview of the most influential artists, resulting in the ultimate top hundred list of the most influential artists of the modern and contemporary era. 

Among the most famous modern and contemporary artists are the usual suspects such as Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Gerhard Richter, Joseph Beuys, Wolfgang Tillmans, Cindy Sherman, Sigmar Polke, Robert Rauschenberg, Keith Haring, Thomas Ruff, Lawrence Weiner, David Hockney and Roy Lichtenstein

However, the Top 100 is very interchangeable with dozens of other artists who merit having a place on this list. 

So please note this list is not the way to be interpreted as absolute.
