Contemporary art"Contemporary art" refers to recently produced visual art. As it is newly made, it follows that it is also unevaluated as concerns its deeper meaning, if indeed any deeper meaning exists. Contemporary art can, of course, be described in superficial terms. These would include such superficial characteristics as the materials used and the techniques used to bring the object into existence. It is also possible to apply the term contemporary art to slightly older works of art. How far back in time a work can still be considered "contemporary" is not established, but it is probably not more than a few decades, and the burden is on the speaker to explain why an older work of art should be considered "contemporary." Of course, the work of a recently deceased artist can also be called contemporary art. The term "contemporary art" roughly replaces the term "modern art." This possibly results from the concept of "postmodern" art, which has risen to prominence in recent years. The concept of postmodern art posits the notion that a significant inflection point was reached in the history of art in about the 1990's. Whether this is true or not is open to debate. (See Postmodern art, Postmodernity, Postmodernism etc.) Contemporary art galleries showcase contemporary art, as well as the contemporary art sections of art museums. Source Wikipedia
