PACKAGING art by the decade isn’t realistic; art doesn’t come in squared-off units. But we seem to need handles on history, so that’s what we do. And here we are once again, in 2010, trying to make a chronological chunk of art — 2000s art, or new millennium art, or art of the aughts — make sense. Whatever you call the art of the last decade, there was a ton of it. Has the world ever turned out more, in more varieties, than in the last 10 years? I doubt it.
