Contemporary Art

Including Expressionism, Minimalism, Pop Art, Photorealism, Postmodernism, and Street Art, artnet Auctions presents an exciting range of Contemporary Art. Exceptional prices achieved include a record US$209,000 for Ode à l'Oubli by Louise Bourgeois, sold on August 31, 2009.

Contemporary Art reflects how the world continues to change in personal and collective ways since the 1960s. The reality of Expressionism, commentary of Pop Art, representation of Photorealism, pluralities of Postmodernism, and provocations of Street Art all express the nature of the cacophonous, multi-media, avant-garde, present day world.
