Contemporary art is perhaps one of the purest art forms, some say it is what art is, and that all other art is mimicking or an abstraction from contemporary art. The art of any particular era or period is indeed unique all to its own. Often, you can note the place and time of a work of art by its tell tale signs, of course it takes a connoisseur of that period to do it.
Some may not agree but the contemporary art of the late 80s was indeed, some of the best art ever produced. Many will point to artisans of Italy back in the day, and yet there was something about the 80s that brought out a new age of art, that has never been seen. Perhaps to best illustrate this observation and to see for yourself, perhaps even become lost in the art of that past period, I would like to recommend a very good art book to you:
"ARTCOAST - Contemporary Art West and East" by Robert D. Cruthers, edited by Kay Larson; Art West Publishers, Santa Monica, CA; 1989. ISBN: 1042-8178.
This book has art from Asia and America, some from Europe too, and it is a mix of all that was available. The Japanese art is finely depicted and the American artists a style all their own. There is something different about the 1980s that allowed artists to create with this style, a style that seemed to become global. Although the art in the book makes it rather obvious which country the art came from, you can see similarities, which is all too intriguing. Of course, you'll have to buy this great art book to understand.
