means “belonging to the same time,” the definition
becomes problematic, especially in visual arts.
 The works labeled as contemporary can be from a wide
range of decades and, therefore, do not necessarily
belong to the same period.
2
ITS CONTEXT

grew along with modernism.
Roger Eliot Fry and his colleagues
founded the Contemporary Art
Society in 1910.
Artworks to be purchased in public

However, throughout the 1930’s,
more institutions were founded using
the term contemporary art. 2
ITS CONTEXT
Some art historians considered the 1960’s as the birth of

contemporary art with the emergence of pop art, an art
movement that veered away from modernism.
With the emergence of contemporary art, the definition

of art became broader as art forms became more
diverse.
