Postmodern Art

Koon's Tulips

Postmodern art doesn't have a "canon" of important works in the way that Impressionism, Realism, or other movements do. In fact, Postmodern artists would most likely argue that identifying a canon of any type of art is useless because it would favor specific representations of reality as more "true" than others.

Below are a few artists and works that have become part of the conversation about Postmodern art.
