I don't know how you can top that list. We really did have a rich array of good shows this year. I guess that probably the Picasso show was the one that knocked me for a loop. I'd never cared much for Picasso but that's because I hadn't seen much of his work. Once I saw the "real deal" I began to understand what the shouting was about.
