Art Appreciation Contemporary Artists of the Post-Pandemic Art Scene
Focus on contemporary painters, sculptors, and photographers who have come to the fore with major exhibitions and art fairs around the globe since the pandemic. These artists ushered in major art world changes and instilled a desire to rethink canonical notions of the purposes behind their crafts. The series begins with a discussion of the Bechers and their impact on accepted ideas of photography, followed by an exploration of members of the Becher School and other photographers who have pushed the envelope in our understanding of the medium. Turning next to works shown at popular art fairs such as the Venice Biennale, understand how ideas about language, gender, and race remain transformative in current practices. Conclude by considering some contemporary painters who, while certainly responding to recent trends, continue to look to the past for their inspiration. PAGEKNOX is an adjunct professor in the Art History Department of Columbia University, where she received her PhD in 2012. She lectures widely in museums in New York City.
