內容簡介：
Contemporary Art: World Currents argues that, in recent
decades, a worldwide shift from modern to contemporary art has
occurred. Artists everywhere have embraced the contemporary world''s
teeming multiplicity, its proliferating differences and its
challenging complexities. This book shows how contemporary art
achieved definitive force in the markets and museums of the major
art centres during the 1980s. It then became a global phenomenon as
artworlds everywhere began to connect more closely, to become
contemporaneous with each other. New communicative technologies and
expanding social media are now shaping the future of art. Terry
Smith offers the first account of these changes, from their
historical beginnings to the present day. This book breaks new
ground in tracing how modern, traditional and indigenous art became
contemporary in each of cultural region of the world. The author
argues that it is diversity, or the contemporaneity of difference,
not a convergence towards sameness, which makes today''s art
contemporary.
