EXHIBITION & MUSEUM ATTENDANCE SURVEY

Christo helps 1.2 million people to walk on water

While the Whitney breaks the hold of New York’s big two

STEP ASIDE, MOMA AND MET The Whitney Museum of American Art, which moved to its new Renzo Piano-designed home in downtown Manhattan in 2015, has put an end to the city’s traditional duopoly of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Whitney hosted five of the ten most-attended exhibitions in New York in 2016. Its strong programme, prime location and sweeping city views drew crowds to a series of solo shows titled Open Plan on its cavernous fifth floor. The experimental, five-part exhibition turned over the largest column-free museum

space in New York to five artists, including Steve McQueen, Lucy Dodd and Michael Heizer, for several weeks at a time. On average, more than 4,000 visitors saw each of the five presentations, roughly equivalent to the number that visited the museum’s Frank Stella retrospective. Despite the Whitney’s rapid rise, MoMA and the Met continue to lead the league in New York. MoMA remains at the top, thanks to staffers who performed each afternoon over a long weekend last October in a production directed by the French choreographer Jérôme Bel. The event drew an audience of around 6,800 people a day, boosted in part by its central location in the museum’s atrium. Meanwhile, in MoMA’s galleries, a more traditional show, Picasso Sculpture, co-organised with the Musée Picasso in Paris, attracted around 5,900 visitors a day. The Costume Institute at the Met staged, by its own recent standards, a stripped-back presentation of haute couture meets high-tech with the exhibition Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology, which drew around 6,100 visitors a day. (In 2015, around 6,600 visitors a day visited the institute’s theatrical exhibition, China: Through the Looking Glass.)

Children admiring Louise Bourgeois at Tate Modern: the institution has hung on to its spot as the world’s most popular Modern and contemporary art museum

A HEAVY FRENCH ACCENT IN LONDON

PARIS AND BRUSSELS SLOW AS MADRID SURGES

Impressionism remains a reliable crowd-pleaser. An exhibition with a heavy French accent—Painting the Modern Garden: Monet to Matisse—was the most-attended paying exhibition in London. It attracted around 5,100 visitors a day to the Royal Academy of Arts, which makes it the UK institution’s fourth most popular show since we began our survey nearly two decades ago. (The art may have mainly come from France, but the show came from the US; it was co-organised by the Cleveland Museum of Art.) It was a quiet year for other major London institutions. Shows at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the British Museum and the National Gallery did not match figures in previous years, but Georgia O’Keeffe at Tate Modern attracted just short of 3,000 visitors a day.

FEMALE ARTISTS DRAW BIG CROWDS Female artists feature prominently in our survey. At the Guggenheim Bilbao, Louise Bourgeois’s Cells attracted around 4,600 visitors a day. The Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, who in 2014 proved a phenomenon in South America and Asia, continued to pull in the crowds—this time in Scandinavia. A show that included her psychedelic clothing drew 3,000 visitors a day on average to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, Denmark, and the Moderna Museet in Stockholm. And in Brazil, a show headlined by Frida Kahlo drew twice that daily figure to São Paulo’s Instituto Tomie Ohtake. Surprisingly, all of these shows were eclipsed by a free exhibition of work by a female contemporary artist from Australia. Patricia Piccinini’s fantastical, mutant human and animal sculptures drew 8,300 visitors a day to the CCBB in Rio de Janeiro, 5,200 to its Brasilia venue and 3,100 to its São Paulo branch. That makes Piccinini the top contemporary artist in this year’s survey.

Terrorist attacks in Paris and Brussels had an impact on visitor numbers

A drop in foreign tourism in Paris after a series of terrorist attacks continues to have an impact on the Louvre’s attendance, but the museum still tops our survey with 7.4 million visitors in 2016 (down from 8.6 million in 2015). It has experienced a decline of nearly two million visitors since 2014, which represents a significant dent in income from ticket sales at a time when security costs have soared. The Musée d’Orsay also experienced a fall, down to three million visitors from 3.4 million in 2015. But the Centre Pompidou, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, is less dependent on visitors from the US, China and elsewhere. Its attendance went up by 275,000, to around 3.3 million visitors. The terrorist attacks in Brussels last March also seem to have had an effect on the number of

hristo’s triumph in Italy, a ravenous appetite for French art abroad and a shake-up in New York are the big stories of The Art Newspaper’s 2016 attendance survey. Christo’s Floating Piers (2016) on Lake Iseo—the New York-based artist’s first outdoor installation since 2005—was the world’s most-visited work of art last year. Christo erected 3km of fabric-covered pontoons between an island and the shore and invited the public to walk on water. In total, 1.2 million people experienced the site-specific installation over 16 days last summer (an average of around 75,000 a day). French museums were responsible for many of the more conventional blockbusters last year. They sent shows around the world that enticed huge audiences. An exhibition of Post-Impressionist works from the Musée d’Orsay’s collection, organised in partnership with Spain’s Fundación Mapfre, drew big crowds to Rio de Janeiro’s blockbuster mill, the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil (CCBB) (9,700 visitors a day). Another 100 works by Renoir, mostly from the D’Orsay’s collection, attracted around 6,600 visitors each day to the National Art Center in Tokyo. Meanwhile, around 4,100 daily visitors went to see a show of works by Monet drawn from various Paris collections at the Hong Kong Museum of History.

MOST POPULAR EXHIBITIONS: THE TOP 20 Patricia Piccinini’s shows at the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil’s venues in Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia and São Paulo made her the top contemporary artist in terms of visitor numbers visitors to the Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique, which includes several venues such as the Musée Magritte and Musée d’Art Moderne. The Belgian museum saw its attendance drop by more than a third from 776,000 in 2015 to less than 497,000 in 2016. Madrid’s major museums, on the other hand, saw a surge. Nearly 400,000 more people (3.6 million) visited the Reina Sofía in 2016 than in 2015, while the Prado broke the three million barrier—a feat it had not accomplished since 2012. Nearly 600,0000 people—or one-fifth of its total annual visitors—went to see the Prado’s major Hieronymus Bosch show organised to coincide with the 500th anniversary of the artist’s death.

GAINS AND LOSSES IN LONDON A slight fall in visitor numbers at the British Museum and an expansion at the Met mean that the London and New York institutions are now at level pegging. The Met does not separate attendance at its three venues: the Fifth Avenue flagship, the Cloisters in upper Manhattan and the Met Breuer, which opened in March 2016. Together, they attracted a record seven million visitors. In London, the single-venue, free-to-visit British Museum drew 6.4 million visitors last year. London’s National Gallery has bounced back after strikes in 2015 led to the temporary closure of many galleries. Its nearly 6.3 million visitors kept the gallery ahead of the newly expanded Tate Modern, which had a total attendance of 5.9 million—its highest ever. The Tate Modern remains the most popular Modern and contemporary art museum in the world, according to our survey. Attendance at New York’s MoMA dipped slightly, to around 2.8 million from 3.1 million in

p002-003_TAN2_Focus Attendance Christo.indd 3

2015, which will please those who criticise the museum for being overcrowded.

LACMA GROWS AND GROWS The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (Lacma) has seen year-on-year growth in attendance since its director Michael Govan took the helm a decade ago. Last year, it experienced the highest attendance in our survey to date (1.6 million). When Govan arrived, attendance was less than 700,000 a year—roughly equivalent to the attendance at the new Broad museum. The downtown Los Angeles institution, opened by Eli and Edythe Broad in 2015, chalked up an impressive 753,000 visitors in 2016. But the private museum with the largest attendance is not, in fact, in Los Angeles. It is in a former industrial neighbourhood turned luxury shopping destination in Mexico City. The Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim’s Museo Soumaya had 2.2 million visitors pass through its futuristic doors. Next year, another private museum may vie for the title: Bernard Arnault’s Fondation Louis Vuitton. The Paris museum drew 1.2 million visitors to its show of Modern art from the Shchukin Collection, a blockbuster that made it the envy of many larger institutions. That show, which closed in March, will be considered in our 2017 survey. The National Palace Museum in Taipei, which topped our list of most-attended exhibitions in 2015, was unable to provide individual figures for its exhibitions in 2016. Its total museum attendance for 2016 was around 4.7 million, 600,000 fewer than in 2015.

METHODOLOGY The daily figures are calculated automatically by our database, which computes the number of days for which an exhibition was open using the following formula: total number of days between start date and end date, divided by seven, multiplied by the number of days a week the institution is open, minus exceptional closures. All of the data used were supplied by the institutions concerned. Some institutions offer a number of exhibitions for a single ticket: these are shown as one entry. Exhibitions that were free to visit—ie neither the museum nor the show had an entry fee— are indicated with an asterisk (*).

The cast from children’s TV programme Castelo Rá-Tim-Bum is the runaway winner in the thematic category

• The thematic category, which includes shows that span time periods and categories but fall under one theme, always boasts an eclectic mix (as well as a few surprises) and this year’s survey doesn’t disappoint. Topping the list is an exhibition of the artwork (the sketches, models and costumes) used to produce a popular 1990s Brazilian children’s television show about a 300-year-old boy—a sorcerer’s apprentice— who lives in a castle in the middle of São Paulo and repeatedly thwarts an evil property speculator’s attempts to demolish his home to build a high rise. The free exhibition at the Centro Cultural Banco do Brazil in Rio de Janeiro is the clear leader, with 8,288 visitors a day. The Royal Academy of Arts claims the second spot with its garden exhibition, which featured canvases from the 1860s to 1920s by Monet, Renoir and Kandinsky among others. It drew 5,108 visitors a day, making it the fourth most visited show at the London museum in more than two decades. The rest of the top ten is rounded out with shows on everything from Guillaume Apollinaire as art critic to an artist’s village, complete with crops, staged in the courtyard of the Irish Museum of Modern Art.

TOP TEN PHOTOGRAPHY • Some 70 years after his birth, the late Robert Mapplethorpe appears in the top ten twice. A paying exhibition at the Aarhus Kunstmuseum in Denmark attracted 2,250 visitors a day, but did not quite reach the heights of the free Getty Center show’s 3,364 visitors a day. Indeed, the Getty dominates the category, with three shows in the top 12. But this is one of the most pleasingly diverse lists, where solo and group shows, street and studio photography, Asian and US traditions, and leading art photographers and more commercial practitioners collide. Few exhibitions with an individual entry fee attracted big crowds: only the Aarhus’s Mapplethorpe and MoCA Taipei’s Mika Ninagawa shows feature in the top ten (entry to the rest was free or included in a general museum ticket). The category is topped by the winners of the Carmignac Photojournalism Award at the Saatchi Gallery, a show of six far from widely celebrated photographers, who drew around 2,000 visitors a day more than shows of greats such as Mapplethorpe, Irving Penn and Ishiuchi Miyako.

SPECIAL REPORT


EXHIBITION & MUSEUM ATTENDANCE SURVEY

• Although the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil again gets the top spot, this time with its free Post-Impressionist show in Rio de Janeiro, this category otherwise gives more of an indicator of gallery-goers’ active choices rather than curious museum wanderings: six of the top ten shows charged individual fees, two shows were included with general museum entry and only two were free. The artists who feature are, perhaps, unsurprising. The Munch and Van Gogh show offered two blockbuster names for the price of one, while the latter’s private life remains an endless source of fascination. Dalí is perennially popular, and Frida Kahlo has entered the upper echelon of household-name artists in the past two decades. Touring shows from the Musée Picasso in Paris, like the one at the Instituto Tomie Ohtake in São Paulo here, have consistently drawn huge numbers. While the Picasso Sculpture show at the Museum of Modern Art was well below the PostImpressionist Masterpieces in Brazil in per-day figures, it still attracted an astonishing 851,385 visitors over nearly five months—the highest total attendance figure in this category.

TOP 15 BIG TICKET

Well over a million visitors walked Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s Floating Piers on Lake Iseo in northern Italy

• A minor miracle and major logistical undertaking was the art event of 2016, as Christo and 1.2 million people walked on water as part of the Floating Piers installation. This vast work by the New York-based, Bulgarian-born artist Christo and his late wife Jeanne-Claude was conceived more than four decades ago, and consisted of three kilometres of nylon-covered walkways linking islands on Lake Iseo in northern Italy. Young and old alike braved the heat and the throng to be part of the spectacle, transcending the usual art crowd. The Big Ticket category covers events that cannot be properly compared to regular museums exhibitions. These include shows where the ticket covers entry to other attractions, such as the palace and gardens of Versailles; displays staged in a museum’s main lobby, such as Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall; as well as biennials and festivals. In second place this year, dropping down from the top spot it has held in the previous two surveys, is the annual ArtPrize taking place across Grand Rapids, with 26,710 visitors a day. Notable mention must also go to the single venue Bienal de São Paulo. It attracted 10,919 visitors a day despite—or perhaps because of—its wholehearted embrace of the theme of uncertainty, even handing over the catering to one of the artists. Speaking to The Art Newspaper before the event, the curator Jochen Volz confessed: “We know that this might go wrong.” It certainly went wrong in the right way. J.S. Daily Total

Two of Patricia Piccinini’s Consciousness shows of genetics fantasies in Brazil made it into the top ten

• This list is not so much a true indicator of quality as a reflection of the allure of cost-free gallery

visits. Where in 2015 the category included only four free shows, six feature here, among them four Saatchi Gallery exhibitions and two of the same artist at different branches of Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil, which are open 12 hours a day. Many of the artists are far from stellar names. It is doubtful, for instance, that a show of the relatively obscure Henri Barande would attract even a tenth of the 5,480 visitors a day that the Saatchi Gallery reports if it were at any other venue. And Patricia Piccinini’s grotesque-cum-cute, hyper-real genetics fantasies in silicone clearly caused a stir in Brazil, but she has been largely ignored by major international museum collections. More reflective of current artistic developments and prevailing curatorial taste are Jérôme Bel’s contribution to the Museum of Modern Art’s long-running Artist’s Choice programme, in which the choreographer employed staff members to perform in the museum’s atrium, and the Guggenheim Bilbao’s show of the Finnish artist Eija-Liisa Ahtila’s videos and photographs.

SPECIAL REPORT


EXHIBITION & MUSEUM ATTENDANCE SURVEY MOST POPULAR EXHIBITIONS Daily Total

• In London, the Royal Academy of Arts tops the paying exhibitions list with The Modern Garden, a group exhibition that included Monet’s 12-metrewide Agapanthus Triptych, on show in the UK for the first time. The Academy’s annual open submission Summer Exhibition achieved one of its highest attendances of the decade, with 3,274 visitors a day. The Saatchi Gallery once again dominates the free shows category, taking the top six spots. In New York, the choreographer Jérôme Bel’s show trained up and made the Museum of Modern Art’s staff the stars of his piece, A New York rehearsal for Artist’s Choice: Jérôme Bel attracting 6,777 visitors a day. It is closely followed by the fashion extravaganza Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology, with 6,073 visitors a day at the Met. The Musée d’Orsay in Paris takes the two top spots. Its Rousseau show with 4,823 visitors a day (which presented the French outsider artist alongside some of his Modernist peers including Picasso and Kandinsky) comes in ahead of its survey of paintings of prostitution between 1850 and 1910.

A familiar terracotta face

• China’s Terracotta Warriors are no stranger to our Asian top ten category. Various incarnations of travelling shows with recruits from this 2,200-year-old clay army have featured five times in this category since 2008. But the display at the Tokyo National Museum boasts the highest daily visitor figure (5,243) in our survey to date, easily beating the 4,190 visitors a day who went to the British Museum’s show in 2007-08, although the latter drew nearly twice as many people overall. The Tokyo museum also fills the next top three slots, with shows focused on work by Japanese and/or Korean artists. Noticeably absent from the top ten is the National Palace Museum, Taipei, which topped our 2015 list but was unable to provide separate figures for its 2016 shows. E.S. Daily Total

Bosch: the 5th Centenary Exhibition at Madrid’s Museo Nacional del Prado drew nearly 5,000 visitors a day

• This year the crowds went bonkers for Bosch at both the Prado in Madrid and the Noordbrabants Museum in Bosch’s hometown of Den Bosch. The latter received its highest ever attendance in its 180year history. Elsewhere, art-historical bye-ways were the name of the day, with the San Benedetto Group at the Pitti, the Fabritius’s goldfinch at the Scottish National Gallery, and the Botticini altarpiece at the National Gallery. It should be noted that the latter two were single-work shows with free entry—their popularity should be taken with a pinch of salt. At the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo, the Caravaggio and His Time show attracted 4,413 visitors a day to see Mary Magdalene in Ecstasy, which was thought to have been lost until discovered in a private collection in 2014. The most interesting entry is the exhibition of Vigée Le Brun’s portraits, which travelled from the Grand Palais (fifth place) to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, whose show sits just outside our top ten. On the one hand, one might be tempted to think of her popularity as a triumph for feminism, a woman on top of patriarchy, but, on the other, hers was a “Thatcher” victory: a woman, but one who was an upholder of the ancien régime.

• Fashion dominates the decorative arts category once again in this year’s survey, with nine of the top ten shows being fashion-related (last year there were seven); even the anomaly (a show on tapestries from the time of Louis XIV) is still about textiles. The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Manus x Machina show—on how both haute couture and ready-to-wear fashion have changed with the arrival of new technologies—was top this year, with 6,073 visitors a day. It was the New York museum’s seventh most popular exhibition of all time, joining such blockbusters as the Treasures of Tutankhamun in 1978 and the Mona Lisa in 1963. The show had twice as many daily visitors as its nearest rival, the Oscar de la Renta retrospective at the De Young in San Francisco. Vogue 100 at Manchester Art Gallery was one of the museum’s most popular shows ever, with 1,860 visitors a day. Just missing out on top ten place was a show of nature-inspired jewels by the Russian Ilgiz Fazulzyanov at the Moscow Kremlin Museums. A.D. Daily Total

TOP TEN MEDIEVAL • For the first time in decades, Medieval art shows have not only managed to garner sufficient visitors to muster ten entries, they have also exhibited items other than the annual hands-down winner—illuminated manuscripts. However, four of 2016’s shows are unlikely to set a trend. The two at the Royal Castle in Warsaw, related specifically to Polish history: one to celebrate the 1,050th anniversary of the conversion of the Poles to Christianity, and the other to survey the history of the Piast dynasty (10th century-1370). The two shows in Spain were coupled to unrepeatable circumstances: a loan of 260 items by the British Museum, and the donation of Catalan works by the collector Antonio Gallardo Ballart to the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya. Is interest in Medieval art undergoing a renaissance? D.L. Daily Total

The British Museum’s exhibition used CT scans to reveal what lay hidden in this mummified crocodile, an incarnation of the Ancient Egyptian god Sobek

• The Tokyo leg of a travelling show of treasures from the National Museum of Kabul tops our list with 2,612 daily visitors. It is the second time an exhibition of antiquities from the Afghanistan museum has led our list in this category: it came top in 2009, when 4,735 visitors a day went to see antiquities at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Egyptian-themed exhibitions at the British Museum helped the UK institution take two spots in 2016, including second place with CT scans of a 4m-long mummified crocodile with 25 hatchlings on its back. The show drew an impressive 2,582 daily visitors—a figure no doubt bolstered by the fact that the display was held in a room off the museum’s main entrance. Two shows from New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art make the list and, as we predicted in last year’s survey, Hellenistic bronzes shown in Washington, DC, pulled in the crowds just as they did in 2015 in Los Angeles.

TOP TEN ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN • The Serpentine Galleries in London expanded its annual architecture programme in 2016 by inviting four architects to build summer houses. The addition may have had a hand in pushing the 2016 Pavilion, designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), into top spot (it was seventh in 2016 and tenth in 2014), while the summer houses debut at number four. The most visited show for overall attendance was the one put on by the Museum of Modern Art in New York for the Japanese Pritzker Prize-winning architects Toyo Ito and Sanaa, with almost 350,000 visitors. The show on the British architect David Adjaye at the Art Institute of Chicago takes fifth place. But it is not all about architecture—four of the top ten exhibitions are design-focused, and two of the most popular were graphic design shows in museums in Israel. A.D. Daily Total

TOP TEN 19TH-CENTURY ART • The top ten for 2016 is a litany of the popular saints of the 19th-century art calendar: Renoir, Degas, Monet (three times) and Rousseau. Although Japanese shows have topped visitor numbers for decades, the country has not produced any internationally recognised art historians or scholars of these artists or the period. For many, though, the Tokyo Renoir show of masterpiece loans from the Musée d’Orsay and the Orangerie was a once-in-a-lifetime chance. The 600,000 visitors to the exhibition of the popular Russian Romantic painter Ivan Aivazovsky (1817-1900) should take account of national interest and a pool of 144 million potential Russian viewers.
