CONTEMPORARY ARTS

Once you start tryin to find definitions about art, you open a door to a world of confusion.

The word, "contemporary" means "together (con-) in time (tempus)", in other words, "right now". So "contemporary art" ought to mean the "art of now".

However, and notwithstandin, museums, or musea, that show contemporary artwork, have been found to show any art work, that has been made since the end of the second thirty-years war, or about 1945, year of our Lo'ward.

Whoopsie daisy! I said "any". That is not so. The established arenas for, observation and traffic of contemporary art for sale, have shown themselves to be utterly discriminatin.

Have a peek, at what a superb writer and critic has to say on the matter:

"A ceramic object that is intended as a subversive comment on the nature of beauty is more likely to fit the definition of contemporary art than one that is simply beautiful."

Peter Timms, What's Wrong with Contemporary Art? , UNSW Press, 2004, p17. ISBN 0868404071

CONTEMPORARY ART GALLERIES

There are literally dozens, of contemporary art galleries. I would venture to say, that there are literally scores of them, even hundreds, even thousands, even 10's of thousands, even dozens of thousands, even scores of thousands. Of them.

Do I hear a million? Did anybody say "a million"?

I began, with the nearest top-quality contemporary art gallery, to my exact location and I told, to you, about it. Click you on the link, and you will see. The owner is a photorealist landscape artist, of the highest quality.

Next I broadened the range of distance and added more. Click and you will know.
