The latter labels were now fused and subsumed under this new rubric, which was indebted to the export of economic neoliberalism after the end of the Cold War and the new possibilities of networked communication. This narrowing of focus might come across as conservative, but what Enwezor had in mind was nothing less than the dismantling and rebuilding of the Western intellectual model upon which art history, and the museum itself, are founded.

This nascent field seeks to complicate and displace Eurocentric narratives of modern art by emphasising transnational exchange, intercultural reception and a pluralisation of histories. In his proposal he wrote:. The exhibition will depart from the classical idea of the postcolonial as the process of disengagement from and decolonization from colonialism and the creation of the nation state. It will not be framed within the idea of the nation state as a central protagonist of social, political, and cultural emancipation. It will instead focus on the formation of non-state activities, namely the explosion of civic consciousness between to These would include the rise of civil rights movements, anti-racist movements, ecological movements, feminist movements, queer liberation movements, anti-apartheid, indigenous movements, the rise of extreme leftist movements, often violent such as Red Brigade, RAF, Japanese Red Army, Shining Path, responses to military dictatorships in South America Argentina, Brazil, etc , dissidents in the former Soviet Union, Minjung in South Korea, etc.
As you can see, the global expanse is obvious. Most recently, in , Alison Knowles conducted a residency at the Walker for which she enacted for an outdoor audience of her Proposition No. However playful they seem, these performances carry with them the radical spirit of the time in which they were conceived and speak directly to the blurring of art and life that is so often invoked in historical reflections on Fluxus.
Some fifty years later, though, it has become increasingly difficult to relay the urgency of the Fluxus project and its undisciplined ethos. This is an especially vexing problem for exhibition curators who must present event scores behind glass and Fluxkits under vitrines. One of my goals with Art Expanded, — , and this resulting volume, was to recuperate certain terms, art-historical relationships, and archival content that have recently lapsed into misuse or disregard. An artist such as Cage, for instance, could work productively at the intermedium of philosophy and music, or Yvonne Rainer between choreographed dance and everyday movement.
Indeed, the question of historical legacy weighs heavily on Art Expanded, — , which importantly finds its programmatic context in a contemporary art center. Early on, Allan Kaprow was a keen observer in this respect. They will discover out of ordinary things the meaning of ordinariness. They will not try to make them extraordinary but will only state their real meaning. But out of nothing they will devise the extraordinary and then maybe nothingness as well.
Beijing-born Liu Wei is considered to be one of the most talented modern artists in China. It is this smashing of boundaries, this not being tied to any one school of thought, that creates his unique style and makes him and his famous modern art so beloved around the world today.
These multicoloured stalactite forms symbolise the sea and a cave, in opposition yet simultaneously in union. His works explore decomposition, metamorphosis, and the passage of time and take the form of abstract paintings of faces, among other things. In , Barcelo became the youngest artist ever to have exhibited works in the Louvre in Paris. Despite this, Murakami has been fully embraced in the Western art world as well, and his work is extremely in demand in the art world today. He was considered to be one of the most interesting creators of contemporary art of his time.
He is one of the most popular artists today among Chinese art collectors today. The universe Nigerian-American Njideka Akunyili Crosby depicts in her work is, according to her, neither Nigeria nor America, but some other space, the space that every immigrant occupies. The paintings live and breathe her trans- and multicultural fine arts fascination and identity.
Akunyili Crosby became the talk of the contemporary art world when the price of her work soared dramatically. Irish artist Sean Scully often works with stripes, grids, and dark tones to create his characteristic abstract works. His style is often described as a hybrid between Western Modernism, traditional Chinese painting, and Socialist Realism, which is what makes his art so gripping.
Zhou considers himself, above all, to be a colourist, and is fascinated with the meanings colours beget when people think of them. He became the youngest artist to top the Hurun Art List in , which ranks the top Chinese popular artists today by their sales revenue at public auctions. In his abstract paintings of faces and bodies, George Condo plays with the human form.
Unique among modern artists, his paintings are graced with absurd, cut-up, often carnivalesque characters. Though references to the likes of Picasso, Matisse, Cy Twombly, Goya, and Velazquez are evident in his aforementioned abstract paintings of faces, there is no doubt that Condo has developed his own very significant style.
John Currin, one of several famous American painters on this list, and photographed above while working on a portrait of his wife, is known for his seductive yet also repelling paintings of lustful women.
Eric Crosby
It could be precisely his ability to create contemporary art that defies taste, that makes you both hate and love it, which has helped make Currin one of the most popular artists today, and maybe one of the greatest painters of all time. His work centres around the concept of family, taking inspiration from family photos from the Cultural Revolution period. Like other modern artists, he offers a critical perspective on social, political, and cultural issues, challenging the viewer with his evocative figures and expressions. In , he opened his own private museum joining an elite group of modern artists including Damien Hirst who have established private museums in Hombroich, Germany dedicated solely to his sculptures.
Jeff Koons is famous among popular artists for turning banal objects into fine arts icons by utilizing concepts like celebrity, media, and commerce.
Tracking Artistic Exchanges
In doing so, he holds up a mirror to society and reveals it in all its grotesque contradictions. His fascination with these subjects is also reflected in the commercial materials he uses. Mark Bradford combines his interests in modern abstraction and the urban community in his signature mixed-media collages.
His famous modern art, spanning the breadth of collage, public art, installations, and video work, explores high art and popular culture. He is always seeking out the uncomfortable and confronting topics in society.

Bradford created one of the most talked about displays outside the US pavilion at the Venice Biennale this year, referencing the Virginia plantation owned by Thomas Jefferson and inspired by topics such as the rise of Trump, police violence, and Black Lives Matter. Oehlen uses impulse and eclecticism in his work, often starting with a set of rules or structural limitations and using his fingers, brushes, collage, and computers as his tools.
Art Expanded, 1958–1978
In recent years, the demand for his art has risen in the luxury zone of the art market, calling some to question whether this will change the reception of his famous modern art. Anselm Kiefer, the German artist who studied with the likes of other popular artists such as Joseph Beuys, engages with myth, memory, and collective history. He believes it is important to confront your collective path in order to be able to go towards the future.
Adrian Ghenie is a Romanian artist from the Cluj School. His works are filled with rich textures and colours, the expressive images balancing in between clarity and decay.
