Contemporary art is about contemporary life: the ideas and events that shape our experiences, the nature of our relationships, and the conditions and values that inform our choices. The extraordinarily varied works in New Now Next, drawn from the Blanton's contemporary collection, offer thoughtful perspectives on our world today. Some investigate and question, while others report, comment, or reflect, but all are certain to start conversations here and now.
