- Contemporary art should not be confused with modern art - the former is art being created today and the art of roughly since the early seventies, while the latter generally refers to art from the 1860s until the 1970s. Contemporary art is characterized by its extreme diversity and the apparent lack of specific movements.
Contemporary art is recently produced visual art. When recently produced visual art ages, it loses the status of being contemporary. When recently produced visual art ages it becomes, strictly speaking, historical. Ideally, the term is applied to art produced in the present.
