## What is Contemporary Art?

I searched the internet for "contemporary artist" and "contemporary painter", and got literally dozens of results, containing painters, photographers, sculptors and other kind of visual artists.

The selection I present here is purely a matter of my personal taste. Chances are I forgot some important artists, as I'm software architect, no art expert.

Quoted from [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contemporary_art):
>Contemporary art is the art of today, produced in the second half of the 20th century or in the 21st century. Contemporary artists work in a globally influenced, culturally diverse, and technologically advancing world.

And now, let's dive right in. The order is inverse alphabetic (sorted by last or family name), for a change.

## Zappa, Frank
More known for his (sometimes strange) music, Frank Zappa makes for a stunning Yoda...
