　　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.
