There is a lot of great contemporary art out there, and that's the stuff people will be looking back at in the future like we look back at art works from centuries past today. The edgy shit and contrarian garbage without any actual substance will be forgotten. Unless you are into the "art world" (by which I mean you actually follow contemporary art and watch movements as they develop and become influential) most of the contemporary art you're going to hear about is the controversial shit that people like to write a lot of articles about because it's outrageous and will get clicks. Artists are freer now than they have ever been so you're going to get a lot of trash coming out for every truly great work. I like classical painting and sculpture as much as the next guy, and the mastery it took to create some of those works is incredibly impressive, the images undeniably evoke emotion, but there's only so much you can do and express through old mediums and styles. Art can still be painting and sculpture, but it can also be performances and environments and interactive experiences and more. Art isn't just about depicting the real world and mythology any more, I don't understand why anyone would want it to be that way again.

pic related is one of my favorite contemporary artworks. It's called Breathing Light if you want to look it up.
