The Week In Art: Illusions, Investments and Imitation Art (PHOTOS)

First Posted: 12/23/11 08:28 PM ET   Updated: 12/23/11 08:45 PM ET

It's been a fun week on HuffPost Arts. We marveled at artist Oleg Shuplyak's astonishing optical illusion paintings and discovered which artists are a better bet than stocks. We also counted down the 11 greatest moments in architecture in 2011 and got an exclusive glimpse into artist Marilyn Minter's hyperreal work in the first installment of our Studio Visits in partnership with Art Production Fund. These were our highlights this week. What were yours?
