As 2009 draws to a close, we look back at the Art Books that we reviewed this year, some we missed, and a few others that will surely adorn our coffee tables and shelves in the coming months. From naked men to tiny beauty queens, here are 10 Outstanding Art Books of 2009, and 3 others you want to have on your radar.

10. Jeff Koons
by Eckhard Schneider, Ingrid Sischy, Katy Siegel, Hans Werner Holzwarth
If artist Jeff Koons is anything, he’s controversy seeking. This summer some of his best works were displayed in London’s Serpantine Gallery. In case you missed the show, then don’t miss owning “Jeff Koons” the book—perhaps the most comprehensive study of the artist’s work ever published. $70 | taschen
