Dear readers and subscribers, today we take on the top 10 highest ranked artists of this year! As often - the ranking was created using the Artfacts algorithm ranking artists based upon objective data and career facts. What is your interpretation of this ranking? And who do you think should sit in top spot? Let us know here in the comments. Further, if you haven't already, make sure to watch our video on the top 7 emerging artists of 2022 next, encompassing the most exciting prospects of art world. Chat soon!
Please let a human being do the narrative, this just feels cold and un personal.
Hi there, thank you for your valuable feedback. We are looking to solve this issue to improve our content. Just a few more AI videos are coming and then we'll have the right equipment and setting the host and narrate these videos personally
Thank you. I so dislike synthetic voices. The narration on this makes it unwatchable.
Just like modern art
@@vagrant-techart8278 I was going to say the same. Contemporary art is as appealing as the robot 🤖 voice narrating this video; Symbolism happens.
@@samuelhoar9560I'm not sure which makes it harder to watch: the robotic voice, or the pretentious drivel.
Now I know why modern art museums are always empty.
Thanks for showing. AWESOME !
I think that most importantly art is a reflection of how we see ourselves, an expression of what we find most interesting within. Some of its distressing, concerning and sometimes beautiful.
Wonderful comment. Thank you so much for sharing it here. All my best from Belgium, JD
I agree, it’s impossible to listen with these fake voices. Theres no humanity to it, with art no lees!
These have been the top artists for a long time, not just 2022.
I found this channel by chance. I followed the European art scene in the 1960s and 70's , I went to Kassel Dokumenta 5
and visited all the major galleries in Europe . I fear not much has changed since then! More of the same tendencies ,
but by different people. Here i rate RIchter and Baselitz. Anselm Kiefer should be in this line up.
The astonishing conclusion is, these artists have been prolific in the art world for so many decades now. Richter and Baselitz are sure one of the most highly rated artists. Kiefer was featured on our separate video taking on contemporary painting. Thank you for tuning in and for your interesting comment!
Thanks for this video. 😊
The pleasure is all mine 🙏
Anybody can do photos like that what's so great about them.
The art of selling that garbage 🙄 Of course there's nothing interesting or special there 😂
Thank you so much for another amazing video!
Thank you once again for your kind words and thank you for tuning in
Very Nice..
Thank you.
The pleasure is all mine, thank you!
Why are there only 'white' artists in the top 10?
The list has been created by the an algorithm which ranks artists based upon objective data and career facts (such as shows at major institutions, auction results, biennials, collections, et cetera). In other words, the list does not discriminate, however, it illustrates the art world still does - or certainly when it comes to this 'older generation of artists' with great longevity which is valued strongly for this list. However, I am convinced the list will be much more diverse within 10 or 20 years. For instance, our video on the top artists born after 1970 was much more diverse, using the same algorithm. In any case, thank you for tuning in and for joining the debate in the comments!
Because this video is in English, dear. So it features WESTERN artists, as it should. Every culture has their own and you're free to go watch similar videos in other languages and relating to those cultures.
This is the sort of work artists do if they are too lazy or unfocused to go thru the difficult and long process of develoing significant work. Very sophomoric.
you are right
Lack of talent?
Exactly 😂
Or when people who can't draw lines .. have mental disorder so they start destroying the walls with expensive colours
Nice video well-done
Thank you 🙏
I believe that conceptual artists have broadened the definitions and parameters of art thereby increasing its' richness and expanding what art is. I enjoy a lot of traditional and realist art and I've seen a lot embarrassing and laughable conceptual art. But I have also been exposed to some incredibly original, inventive artistic minds that have made me rethink the notion of ideas.
Hi there, what a wonderful comment and I must agree with you completely. At first, when I was a student at University, I was very skeptical towards Conceptual Art. What changed it? Several genuine encounters with terrific conceptual artworks. True eye-openers. Of course, there is a lot of 'junk' out there as well, but so there is with painting or traditional sculpture
While what you say is true enough Marshall McLuhan said "Art is anything you can get away with" the quotation appeared in the 1967 book “The Medium is the Massage” Its a great viewpoint and worth reading to get a different perspective on art and its impact as well as society today.
Yes, most conceptual art is just a shallow cover for lack of skills and IQ.
@@mikesamovarov4054 Not so much lack of IQ but sometimes misguided.
Daniel Richter is more better than Gerhard Richter....his social psychological stories in symbioza with impressive colours are simply stunning...
Daniel Richter's works are terrific indeed. Safe to say they feel much more rooted in the now and the esthetics are stunning for sure!
Thanks!
Thank you so much, the pleasure is all mine!
as one of the youth of the millennials how art is important in developing one's person
It sure is! Thank you for tuning in
Contemporary Art is German, Austrian, US ... yeah, right !
Hi there, thank you for tuning in. No, of course contemporary art is much more. However, it is interesting of course, and not a coincidence at all from a retrospective point of view, to find these nationalities so strongly represented in these top lists.
You disagree? 🤦🏻♀️ Yes, there's a lot of "conceptual art" in the West and this video is in English. Since the West is the leader in human evolution, the most contemporary art IS produced in the western world. Everyone else lives in stone ages etc. 😂 And I don't even like so called "conceptual art".
The German bias in these CAI videos is rather funny.
We are simply presenting the top results from our survey using an algorithm crawling objective career data from all artists in the world. So we are not bias, it is in fact an interesting conclusion for the critical reader/viewer
Nice video
Big thanks!
climbing the pole of success
I will be on the next one
Go for it!
I could be a narrative for your channel. My voice and accent is wonderful. You can send me the scripts to read anytime
We currently narrate/host the videos ourselves, but thank you for the suggestion!
Georg Baselitz, who says women can not be good artists and is a one trick pony. No thank you, I nearly do not know anybody who thinks he is still relevant. And why did you choose mainly Germans? Greetings from Germany
Hi La Le and Van Brighouse, it is true Germany has been producing the most exciting artists over the past 7 decades or so. Even now, when I am scouting for new artists for our gallery program, be it online or at an art fair, every time I stumble on great work the artist seems to be German.
Number 9 and number 10 are entertaining jokes. Says a lot about CAI that you should consider them interesting, let alone important, let alone top 10 contemporary artists.
Dear Thierry F, first and foremost, thank you for tuning in and for your comment. Export and Trockel are however historically very important figures, hence being exhibited across the globe at renowned institutions up to this very day, resulting in a high ranking for this list.
@@contemporaryartissue Well, isn't it sad?
Again a well done video. Interesting content. Information needing some active consideration by the viewer. Is the narrator an actual human being or AI?
Thank you very much George once again. The narrator is a new AI voice we're trying out. I believe it sounds very natural, crisp and clear. Do you prefer this one over the previous one (male and British)?
@@contemporaryartissue on the surface your questions seems straight forward and simple. It sent me down the rabbit hole of thinking about AI voices. I prefer the male voice but suspect that is my ingrained misogyny. In my vehicle I prefer the female voice of my GPS. She is cold and calculating, just what one wants and needs as you attempt to reach your destination as quickly and safely as possible. The female AI voice in your video seems to be just as cold and calculating as my GPS AI. We are talking about Art here and I know that some art is cold and calculated (Jeff Koons, needs money to pay the tuition bills of his privileged children; Andy Warhol who was probably intellectually lazy and screaming at society "LOOK at ME!" and Marcel Duchamp who I think was truly motivated to shake up the staid Art community with the Fountain). In general I don't want cold and calculating voices giving me information about contemporary Art. So, there you are. You are probably thinking who is the effing a-hole but you did ask the question.
@@georgemohr7532 Excellently put to words! I agree strongly, and it is our goal to fix this in 2022. I am planning to narrate myself and maybe even 'host' the videos from our office. For now, we'll use the AI voice for a couple more videos until we have the right equipment and so I have some time to prepare myself (or grow a pair). Never liked the sound of my own voice on record, but it would certainly be a strong improvement for the videos.
@John Martlew "It is our story and we should be telling it (...)", I agree 100%. Just a couple more AI videos and then we'll have the right equipment and setting to narrate and host the videos myself.
Malevich's "Black Square" put an end to the depiction of reality and laid the foundations for the development of all contemporary art. Before the First World War, Hobbes' ideas reached their limit, as historians say, the spirit of war was simply in the air. 1911 Gioconda is stolen, the French blame the Germans for everything and France is going to declare war on Germany. The feeling of the inevitability of the approaching end was expressed by Malevich with his Black Square. In the future, his ideas will serve as an impetus for Victor Vasarely and the creation of a new style in Op-art art - on the basis of which all computer graphics are built. We are on the verge of discovering a quantum computer and light plays the main role here, so "Victory over black..." czcams.com/video/ALW8-tclRHk/video.html is inevitable.
Wow, Just WTF ! Gerhard Richter Maybe but. !
Does anyone know if there is a sibling channel that does similar videos but on classical subjects rather than whatever this is
This is how a dystopian society looks
but 2022 only just begun... what about only artists youve discovered in art schools.. under graduates... bit challenging???
Yes, we take on new and emerging artists in other videos and articles. The point of this video was to see what artist were ranked the highest in 2022. Thank you for tuning in!
this line up
Contemporary art is as appealing as the robot 🤖 voice narrating this video; Symbolism happens.
Pretty much 😂
Thank you for the effort, but your selection is so chauvinistic it cannot be taken seriously. So seven of the top ten artists are German or Austrian? Richter in #1 is fine, but who outside the German-speaking world has heard of Ruff, Wurm, Trockel, Export? Baselitz and Sherman are icons from the past. Come on. Your algorithm needs a serious revision. Or maybe just scrap it and start afresh.
Hi there, thanks for tuning in and for your comment. I am not being chauvinistic as I am not German, nor I am Austrian. We are based in Belgium, but I don't believe it is relevant. Ruff is with Tillmans (another German) arguably thé most important fine art photographer in the world. Erwin Wurm is also one of the most influential artists in the world, represented by industry leading galleries such Thaddaeus Ropac and Lehmann Maupin, so I was not surprised to find his name in the top 10 results for this year. Trockel en Export are two living icons, who are not confined at all to the German speaking world. And yes, Baselitz and Sherman have been around for some while indeed, but they have had so many major shows at renowned institutions the past few years so they ended up in this list. Sometimes, the results can for sure be somewhat surprising, but they are not bias, chauvinistic or subjective in any way.
@@contemporaryartissue OK, sorry for the chauvinistic label, that was uncalled for. Still I think your (the algorithm´s) focus is far, far too narrow. Algorithms are just sets of instructions. They have no intrinsic objectivity. They are as objective as their built-in instructions. I don´t know what these instructions are, but the end result is terribly unbalanced. Surely the artists you mention are very important and I should know them. But there are at least a dozen well known and regarded artists that top them. To name just one, David Hockney does not make Top Ten? Anyway, thak you. Discussions about art are always welcome, and disagreements are normal.
@@aquelpibe The main instructions of the algorithm is the artist's presence in the art world: shows at major institutions, featured in public collections, monographic publications, exposure in major art magazines, auction results, et cetera. Yes, David Hockney was a surprise for sure! Discussions are indeed a part of art in many ways. Thank you for tuning in and for the interesting discussion!
@@contemporaryartissue Thanks!
The world is chauvinistic, dear, so is this list. Should the list be fake and forced?
Gilbert and George?
They were very close in fact, such a great duo. My personal favorites!
Is the narrator AI or an actual human being? CAI consistently posts relevant art/artist information. Never simply making statements but always providing the supporting information for the statement. Again, always needing considerable thought for the viewer.You cannot just be a passive viewer.
And thank you for your very kind words, much appreciated!
Let me begin by telling you that when my brother was just starting school, he rebelled at the rules of spelling.
Why did words have to be spelled in a particular way?
Why couldn't he spell them as he wanted to spell them?
He resented the rules and he resisted the authority of those who made them !
Keep this in mind.
I think that Conceptual art originated with people who could not and would not do the difficult work required to become a 'traditional' artist.
Can't master the necessary skills ?
No knowledge of perspective?
Can't draw?
Don't want to have to learn color theory?
Can't master composition?
No knowledge of human anatomy?
Can't render tonal values
Can’t be bothered ?
These are skills that you have to WORK to prefect.
It’s difficult.
It takes…..effort.
But you want a fast track to the exalted position of "artist “.
Here's how: belittle the importance of those skills and debase the notion that they are a prerequisite to creating art.
Instead, create an art genre that you CAN do.
A new genre.
And let's call it Conceptual art.
Conceptual artists claim that IDEAS and CONCEPTS are the main feature of their art.
They can slap anything together and call it ''conceptual art'' confident that viewers will find SOMETHING to think about it no matter how banal or trivial the artist's concept!
There is no way conceptual art pieces can be judged.
The promoters of this art have attacked the motives and credibility of authorities and critics who might disparage the work.
They have rejected museums and galleries as defining authorities.
They reject the idea that art can be judged or criticized .
All of this results in a decline in standards.
And when you jettison standards, quality suffers.
There really IS such a thing as BAD art !
We know this only because we have standards and criteria by which such things can be evaluated.
It seems that conceptual art comes down to a basic idea:
No one has the right or authority to make any judgements about art !
Art is anything you can get away with !
A whole new language has been created to give the work an air of legitimacy and gravitas.
Conceptual art is 'sold' to the unwary public with ....."ArtSpeak".
ArtSpeak is a unique assemblage of English words and phrases that the International Art world uses but which are devoid of meaning!
Have you ever found yourself confronted by an art gallery’s description of an exhibition which seems completely indecipherable?
Or an artist’s statement about their work which left you more confused than enlightened?
You’re not alone.
Here are examples of ArtSpeak:
'Works that probe the dialectic between innovations that seem to have been forgotten, the ruinous present state of projects once created amid great euphoria, and the present as an era of transitions and new beginnings.''
Or
''The exhibition reactivates his career-long investigation into the social mutations of desire and repression. But his earlier concerns with repression production--in the adolescent or in the family as a whole--give way to the vertiginous retrieval and wayward reinvention of mythical community and sub-cultural traditions.''
You will even find examples of ArtSpeak in this video.
This language is meant to convince me that there is real substance to this drivel which is being passed off as art.
I don't buy it.
But plenty of people DO buy it.
Not because they love the work.
They are laying out enormous sums in the belief that their investment will bring them high returns in the future.
One Jeff Koons conceptual piece is three basketballs suspended in a fish tank.
commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Three_Ball_Total_Equilibrium_Tank_by_Jeff_Koons,_Tate_Liverpool.jpg
Here is Koons' own ArtSpeak explanation of his floating basketball 'concept' verbatim:
“ This is an ultimate state of being.
I wanted to play with people’s desires.
They desire this equilibrium.
They desire pre-birth.
I was giving a definition of life and death.
This is the eternal.
This is what life is like, also, after death.
Aspects of the eternal”
Rather lofty goals for 3 basketballs suspended in a fish tank!!
It sold for $350,000.
I wonder what it would have fetched without Koons' name attached to it.
Or take the case of Martin Creed's ball of crumpled white copy paper.
www.abebooks.com/signed/Work-sheet-paper-crumpled-ball-Creed/7404135374/bd
He made almost 700 of them!
Some sold for hundreds of dollars.
Martin Creed, when asked during an interview how he would respond to those who say the crumpled paper ball isn’t art said :
“ I wouldn’t call this art either. Who says, anyway, what’s good and what’s bad?”
Interviewer:
''When confronted with conceptual art, we shouldn’t worry whether it’s art or not because no one really knows what art is.''
Is this what art has come to??
_________________________________
Something radical has happened to the art scene in the past 50 years.
Cubism slid into non-representational art....what is often called Abstract.
Abstract or non-representational art is a legitimate and often profound genre.
But to many people, it appeared as if this new style had no structure, principles or standards of evaluation.
It’s markings seemed random and arbitrary.
Something that anyone could do.
Any composition of blotches or scribbles was seen as “Abstract Art”.
This was the slippery slope that led to the abandonment of standards in art.
''Art is what I say it is'' ....and lots of people jumped on the art bandwagon.
Anyone can now be an artist.
Anyone can now mount a show.
And who is to say if it has value or not ?
A tacit agreement has formed among critics, galleries, publications and auction houses to promote and celebrate certain artists and styles.
Objects with no artistic merit are touted and praised .
Their value increases with every magazine article, every exhibition in a prestigious gallery.
And when they come up for auction, sometimes the auction houses will lend vast sums to a bidder so that it appears as if the work of the particular artist is increasing in value.
The upward spiral begins and fortunes are made.
And many are reluctant to declare that the Emperor is, in fact, naked lest they appear boorish unsophisticated Philistines !
This is what dominates the art market today.
The love of money is the root of all evil.
It has corrupted politics.
It has corrupted sport.
It has corrupted healthcare.
It has corrupted religion.
And now it has corrupted art.
But, there is reason to hope.
As much of the wisdom of the Greeks and Romans was kept alive through the Middle Ages in small pockets of learning and culture, ateliers have sprung up around the world that are devoted to preserving and handing down the traditional visual arts: drawing, painting and sculpting to each new generation.
And when this craze for conceptual art has burned itself out and when visual art is no longer looked on as mere decoration and when schools that have dissolved their art programs want to reestablish them again, the world will find these skills preserved through the atelier movement.
Hi there, thank you for this extensive comment! Let me pick in: The journey towards conceptual art did not happen over night, in the way you've described it did. Actually, similar statements and question we're being asked by Manet, Van Gogh, Malevich or Juan Miro. In the 19th century, we followed 'the rules' and did 'the work'. Everybody was painting academic nudes and mythological paintings in the exact same manner. Is this art? It was skill for sure, but art begins where skill and decoration are transcended. Today, we can paint more realistic than we could back in the 19th century due to further technological developments, better supplies and knowhow. However, this is a dead end. So I am more than happy art history opened doors in which perspective/value/tone/figuration/traditional media are no pretext to be art.
Do you dismiss the traditional non European art and the art of the thousand years before the Renaissance?
@@gavinreid2741 No.
Conceptual art is, essentially, a 180 degree departure from what we have traditionally thought of as “art”.
And by art, I mean the visual arts: painting, drawing, sculpture architecture etc.
The big problem is that while the traditional visual arts have a millenniums long history, this new kid on the block,does not.
Sculpture has evolved from The Venus of Willendorf to the Great Sphinx, the Venus De Milo, Michelangelo's David up to Rodin, the Statue of Liberty and Alexander Calder.
The arts of painting and drawing can be traced back to the cave paintings of Lascaux in France to The Sistine Chapel, Monet and Degas, Mark Rothko and beyond.
And through all of the changes, these art forms have stayed essentially the same:making marks on paper, canvas, wood, plaster etc. and building up forms in three dimensions as sculpture and architecture.
Along with the evolution of these art genres has developed a language and a set of criteria that form standards by which such pieces can be critiqued, evaluated and placed in historical context.
And while some people might like the lurid landscapes of Thomas Kinkade, his paintings are not and should not be hung alongside the landscapes of Church, Cole, van Gogh, Cézanne and Thiebaud.
There IS such a thing as bad art and we know what it looks like and why!
It is called esthetics.
This cannot be said of Conceptual art.
All sorts of crappy, bogus and hare brained stuff is piled up or strewn across the floors of museums and exalted as art because no one knows or can know what is worthy and what is not.
So you get pieces of blank white paper crumpled up in a ball, three basketballs suspended in a fish tank and cans of human excrement.
Welcome to the wonderful, wacky world of Conceptual art !
well, my friend says this "conceptual art" is what rich crooks are using to launder money.
Thanx.I agree and to be honest you do not even need such an extended comment, though grateful.
If people had not lost their common sense this would not happen ,
like said this stupidity, placed in galleries and worst in public museums ( something they needed to turn it magically into “ art” and now days are museums have become corrupted
) …it is simply an insult to human intelligence.
How rediculous changes are happening in the art world when utterly nausiating works of demented artists (read conmen) are celleberated the world over. The real artists of the past must be rolling in pain in their graves. More than art, this is a vicious game of money that can be madfe by projecting some shit on a canvas as brillient work of art by a few self-appointed guardians of art world. It is pathetic to say theleast.
It is a shame that the art world has come to this. This is not art.
Absolutely 💯. That stuff is garbage 😂
Sorry but you are not good informed cause you forgot the name of great artist Grigor Muradyan and her awesome work 360 degree.
Hi there, thank you for tuning in. In fact, Grigor Muradyan was also taken into account when we crawled all the artists in the world with an algorithm. However, he simply did not make the top 10. Thank you for tuning!
money laundry sources!
You ALL need musculist actors
Wow no black contemporary artist...
The list has been created by an algorithm (by Artfacts) which ranks artists based upon objective data and career facts (such as shows at major institutions, auction results, biennials, collections, et cetera). In other words, the list does not discriminate, however, it illustrates the art world still does. However, I am convinced the list will be much more diverse within 10 or 20 years. For instance, our video on the top artists born after 1970 was much more diverse, using the same algorithm. Thank you for tuning in
Video is in English and shows Western art, since the West leads our human evolution forward. Not some "blacks" 😂 Find African videos in their languages about their "contemporary art" for them, but it's still going to be closer to cave paintings. West is the most modern, can't deny that fact. So, it's also most contemporary!
@@contemporaryartissuethe algorithm is a perfect reflection of the bias that exists within the world.
All of them building by lobby and money 💴 not from real talent
Yes, it looks shallow and sad
A disinteresting amount of these are narcissistic and gratuitous.
Yes, those are losers and egoists, failed to absorb the depth of social traditions and correct attitudes to life. Spoiled children is what they are, and their fake art is shallow and laughable.
This has nothing to do with art. This is a program to make a person an idiot!
i agree
Yes, definitely 😂
Je blöder und banaler ein Kunstwerk heute ist, desto größer ist die Chance erfolgreich zu werden. Das schlimme daran ist ja, dass nicht der Künstler selbst bestimmt, sondern dies alles von den Mega Galeristen und den Huren von Kuratoren ausgeht, die den Kunstmarkt und somit die Kunst selbst betsimmen. Also, das, was letztendlich der Betrachter zu sehen bekommt,- und was nicht! Wer also als Künstler heute damit seine Brötchen verdienen will, muss sich dem aktuellen Trend anpassen, (prostituieren) oder er geht unter.
The more stupid and banal a work of art is today, the greater the chance it has of becoming successful. The bad thing about it is that it is not the artist himself who decides, but all of this comes from the mega gallery owners and the whores of curators who determine the art market and thus the art itself. So, what the viewer ultimately sees - and what not! So anyone who wants to make a living as an artist today has to adapt to the current trend (prostitute) or they'll go under.
I wouldn’t one of the pictures shown here in my home….total fraud
Yep, it's a huge scam.
And who decides who's in which rank. Artists have their own world to be appreciated, not to be ranked like race horses.
Rank is likely determined by the total sales these days. Most conceptual art is rather shallow and stuрid.
all of these are old news. I want to know the 2022 New Contemporary artist
Feel free to watch our video on the best new and emerging artists in 2022. Thank you for tuning in
Can you make your list a bit more white please - nonsense small mindedness
Dear Michael, thank you for tuning in.

In other words, the list does not discriminate, however, it illustrates the art world still does - or certainly when it comes to this 'older generation of artists' with great longevity which is valued strongly for this list. However, I am convinced the list will be much more diverse within 10 or 20 years. For instance, our video on the top artists born after 1970 was much more diverse, using the same algorithm.

Whites lead the human evolution, everyone else is behind. So, the West IS most contemporary, so is western art.
No Frank Auerbach. Is this a joke?
Not a fan
I hate this so much.
so white...
If you isolate this works from the conceptual diarrea of the explanation ,this proposals, on their own they are worth absolutely nothing.
Art is stripped of its real value , no sublimation whatsoever ever , creativity is replaced by an ocurrence and junk becomes a symbol of god knows what .
It’s an insult to viewers intelligence .😅
This is a badly skewed representation. There are, however, excellent artists working--some of the best in history, but none of these people. And even the presentation is bad!
Emerging??? Most emerged decades ago! Richter is in his 80s!!! Maybe emerging to the mainstream but not the art world. Most are icons and have been for a long time. Furthermore, this video focuses on icon artist from Germany. There are other places that produce important art. And where is Keiffer??? Neo Rausch? Many others. Pathetic.
This is not a video on emerging artists but the top 10 artists in 2022 according to the Artfacts algorithm. Ironic to say Kiefer and Rauch should be included, before complaining about the amount of German artists, but both arguements actually have something to say about. In any case, thank you for tuning in!
poor
Absurd video
Yea art. This is an absolute embarrassment.
I know, right? 😂
Contemporary "art" is not for public, but for dealers. Completed froud and assault of real Arts
Just white artists in this group!
art is doomed
Y’all need some mental help
So, contemporary art is basically by Germans? Get outta here.
Most of this art, if not all, is absolute garbage created by lazy, uncreative people. Especially that one guy who smears the paint around on the canvas. Give me a break!
Definitely ❤
Inspiration from the Devil...those artist struggle with demons. The art 'world' that promote such work... what drive them...blindness?
you are right
This is degenerate art.

Let me preface this comment that I am a painter/sculptor. OH NO!! the first male artist appears to be a true artist. the first 2 woman most definitely are NOT artists. the second male artist is just a mess. Ruff, also not an artist. Tillmans not too bad. I have commented on George baselitz once from another video. I don't know why anyone would buy his work. I am very critical of photographers work and Cindy Sherman is sort of OK. Bruce Nauman, I definitely don't admire. Richter why?
still think" art "should be a mix of technique (whatever it is), feeling and reason. Not some random rich dude design put together by some workers or a copy of some other stuff or a huge capitalist investment with no meaning whatsoever and, worst of all, some kind of contemporary scream for help put as a transcendental experience. Baselitz and kentridge are probably the most interesting artist in that list, all the others are not that interesting.
(feel free to disagree in comments)
Not even Gerhard Richter following your three elements for good art (skill, feeling & reason)?
@@contemporaryartissue ooh yes, him too. Forgot to mention.
Gerthrt Richert is full of himself. I can see his poisonous "smile". He does something no one has ever done, but purely for the sake of "original". There is no brain behind photorealism, so he needs an escuse to "blur" that nonsense with abstract.
There is no truth in that.
but 2022 only just begun... what about only artists youve discovered in art schools.. under graduates... bit challenging???
