Artists To Watch

Now that 2008 is in your rearview mirror, it's time to focus on the year ahead. Now we bring you a slice of what lies down the art highway.

We've chosen 10 artists we think are worth watching this year—rising stars on the horizon. They paint landscapes, figures, still lifes, and more, in styles ranging from very traditional to very contemporary. And lately they've been racking up awards, earning gallery representation, and impressing their peers. We think you'll be impressed, too. Later, we've got tons of tips to help you "Have an Artful Year" as well as our Collector's Preview, a compendium of top art shows you won't want to miss. Happy New Year!
