What is Contemporary Art?
• No one seems to agree about the exact
meaning of contemporary art.
• Critics, curators and historians define it
in varying ways.
What is Contemporary Art?
• One of the reasons for the confusion is
that "Contemporary Art" is preceded by
“Modern Art,” and there is no precise
agreement on when "Modern Art"
ended.
• “Postmodernist art” is sometimes used
as a synonym for "Contemporary Art."
What is Contemporary Art?
• Simple definition: (3 main meanings)
• Art produced after 1945.
This is the definition adhered to by most
museums when defining their
collections of contemporary artworks.
However, most art historians now
consider this to be out-dated.
What is Contemporary Art?
• Simple definition: (3 main meanings)
• • Art produced in our era or lifetimes.
This accords with the definition of
"contemporary" used by general
historians, but it's too vague for our
purposes.
What is Contemporary Art?
• Simple definition: (3 main meanings)
• • Art produced since the 1960s.
This definition is the one most
commonly used by art critics, but
disagreement persists as to the exact
cut-off date. Is it 1964, for instance, or
1968, or 1969?
 Main Contemporary Art Movements:

• Word Art • Minimal Art/Minimalist
