The Top 10 Contemporary Artists in 2022

A disinteresting amount of these are narcissistic and gratuitous.

I think that most importantly art is a reflection of how we see ourselves, an expression of what we find most interesting within. Some of its distressing, concerning and sometimes beautiful.

Wow no black contemporary artist...

How rediculous changes are happening in the art world when utterly nausiating works of demented artists (read conmen) are celleberated the world over. The real artists of the past must be rolling in pain in their graves. More than art, this is a vicious game of money that can be madfe by projecting some shit on a canvas as brillient work of art by a few self-appointed guardians of art world. It is pathetic to say theleast.

You ALL need musculist actors

No ppl of color, how interesting...

This is a badly skewed representation. There are, however, excellent artists working--some of the best in history, but none of these people. And even the presentation is bad!

So, contemporary art is basically by Germans? Get outta here.

Emerging??? Most emerged decades ago! Richter is in his 80s!!! Maybe emerging to the mainstream but not the art world. Most are icons and have been for a long time. Furthermore, this video focuses on icon artist from Germany. There are other places that produce important art. And where is Keiffer??? Neo Rausch? Many others. Pathetic.

Contemporary "art" is not for public, but for dealers. Completed froud and assault of real Arts

as one of the youth of the millennials how art is important in developing one's person

It is a shame that the art world has come to this. This is not art.

all of these are old news. I want to know the 2022 New Contemporary artist

Thanks!

They all suck. Number 8 was the only adequate "artist"

These have been the top artists for a long time, not just 2022.

so white...

This is degenerate art.

Yea art. This is an absolute embarrassment.

And who decides who's in which rank. Artists have their own world to be appreciated, not to be ranked like race horses.

Contemporary art is as appealing as the robot 🤖 voice narrating this video; Symbolism happens.

Not a fan

Most of this art, if not all, is absolute garbage created by lazy, uncreative people. Especially that one guy who smears the paint around on the canvas. Give me a break!

Nice video well-done

Thanks for this video. 😊

This is how a dystopian society looks

Let me preface this comment that I am a painter/sculptor. OH NO!! the first male artist appears to be a true artist. the first 2 woman most definitely are NOT artists. the second male artist is just a mess. Ruff, also not an artist. Tillmans not too bad. I have commented on George baselitz once from another video. I don't know why anyone would buy his work. I am very critical of photographers work and Cindy Sherman is sort of OK. Bruce Nauman, I definitely don't admire. Richter why?

Does anyone know if there is a sibling channel that does similar videos but on classical subjects rather than whatever this is

I will be on the next one

Just white artists in this group!

climbing the pole of success

Too many germans...as always...The superiority of the Aryan race

money laundry sources!

Now I know why modern art museums are always empty.

Nice video

this line up

Je blöder und banaler ein Kunstwerk heute ist, desto größer ist die Chance erfolgreich zu werden. Das schlimme daran ist ja, dass nicht der Künstler selbst bestimmt, sondern dies alles von den Mega Galeristen und den Huren von Kuratoren ausgeht, die den Kunstmarkt und somit die Kunst selbst betsimmen. Also, das, was letztendlich der Betrachter zu sehen bekommt,- und was nicht! Wer also als Künstler heute damit seine Brötchen verdienen will, muss sich dem aktuellen Trend anpassen, (prostituieren) oder er geht unter.
The more stupid and banal a work of art is today, the greater the chance it has of becoming successful. The bad thing about it is that it is not the artist himself who decides, but all of this comes from the mega gallery owners and the whores of curators who determine the art market and thus the art itself. So, what the viewer ultimately sees - and what not! So anyone who wants to make a living as an artist today has to adapt to the current trend (prostitute) or they'll go under.

If you isolate this works from the conceptual diarrea of the explanation ,this proposals, on their own they are worth absolutely nothing.
Art is stripped of its real value , no sublimation whatsoever ever , creativity is replaced by an ocurrence and junk becomes a symbol of god knows what .
It’s an insult to viewers intelligence .😅

No Frank Auerbach. Is this a joke?

but 2022 only just begun... what about only artists youve discovered in art schools.. under graduates... bit challenging???

Thanks for showing. AWESOME !

Y’all need some mental help

Why is it 89% Germans?

art is doomed

sodom and gomorrah

Wow, Just WTF ! Gerhard Richter Maybe but. !
