"Despite Chanel's occupation of the top slot, conceptual art photography generally fared better than its commercial equivalent, with works from Francesca Woodman and Rineke Dijkstra, both at the Guggenheim, New York, attracting more daily visitors than more obviously popular names such as Annie Leibovitz in Washington, DC, and Herb Ritts in LA."
