A Close Look at Contemporary Art

Used to refer to a time rather than an aesthetic, Contemporary art generally describes pieces created after 1970 or being made by living artists anywhere in the world. This immediacy means it encompasses art responding to the present moment through diverse subjects, media and themes. Contemporary painting, sculpture, photography, performance, digital art, video and more frequently includes work that is attempting to reshape current ideas about what art can be, from Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s use of candy to memorialize a lover he lost to AIDS-related complications to Jenny Holzer’s ongoing “Truisms,” a Conceptual series that sees provocative messages printed on billboards, T-shirts, benches and other public places that exist outside of formal exhibitions and the conventional “white cube” of galleries.

Contemporary art has been pushing the boundaries of creative expression for years. Its disruption of the traditional concepts of art are often aiming to engage viewers in complex questions about identity, society and culture. In the latter part of the 20th century, contemporary movements included Land art, in which artists like Robert Smithson and Michael Heizer create large-scale, site-specific sculptures, installations and other works in soil and bodies of water; Sound art, with artists such as Christian Marclay and Susan Philipsz centering art on sonic experiences; and New Media art, in which mass media and digital culture inform the work of artists such as Nam June Paik and Rafaël Rozendaal.

The first decades of the 21st century have seen the growth of Contemporary African art, the revival of figurative painting, the emergence of street art and the rise of NFTs, unique digital artworks that are powered by blockchain technology.

Major Contemporary artists practicing now include Ai Weiwei, Cecily Brown, David Hockney, Yayoi Kusama, Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami and Kara Walker.

Questions About Bright Contemporary Art
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Contemporary art denotes work created by 21st-century artists.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    In contemporary art, conceptual art is a movement that began in the 1960s. Artists producing conceptual art assign more importance to the idea behind the art than to the piece itself. An example is Joseph Kosuth’s One and Three Chairs, a piece consisting of a real chair, a photograph of a chair and the dictionary definition of the word chair. When the work was displayed, Kosuth included instructions for any chair to be photographed and then displayed beside its image. In this way, the chair itself is not the artwork. Rather, the art comes from examining the way the object, image and words provide competing and complementary definitions of what a chair is. Find a large selection of fine art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Contemporary art has no defining feature or characteristic.The term simply refers to recent creations.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024

Given its timeliness, contemporary art often responds to current issues and themes that are relevant to an everyday audience. Contemporary art succeeded modern art, which is art made during a period that began in approximately 1850. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of contemporary art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Contemporary art encompasses painting, sculpture, photography, installation, performance and video art, among other genres.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024

Contemporary art generally describes pieces created after 1970 or being made by living artists anywhere in the world. Through their works, contemporary artists provide commentary about social issues, history and the human condition. By engaging with contemporary art, viewers can gain a deeper understanding of the world and new perspectives. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of contemporary art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    The term contemporary is applied to art by 21st-century artists; modern art refers to works created from the1880s and through the 1960s.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024
    The difference between modern art and contemporary art comes down to age. Contemporary art refers to art produced by artists who are still alive or were active during the 1960s and later. Modern art is the term for artworks made between 1850 or 1860 and 1960. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of modern and contemporary art.
