Modern Contemporary Art is the one that has come into existence in the recent times. Most often this refers to the period from the Second World War. Over the last few decades, even in the modern contemporary art several segments have emerged.            
In the 1950s the forms of art that became famous include the abstract expressionism, American figurative expressionism, etc. These forms also reigned supreme in the next decade. Minimalism and post minimalism are also streams that emerged in the 1960s. As time moved along, neo-expressionism, new European painting and classical realism gained prominence.  

Just as different forms of art have emerged over the years, the popularity of art in different segments has also seen changes over the years.  Art has become more main-stream from the earlier times when it was relegated to patronage by the royals or the rich and the famous.

Now, even an online art gallery allows you to browse the art work of your choice. It is even possible to place an order online and to get the art work delivered at your doorstep. An online art gallery is not a pale version of the galleries existing for real. In fact, these have gone on to become famous for the services on offer and have emerged as businesses that have a turnover of millions of dollars.

Over the years as a multitude of platforms have emerged for giving recognition to art, famous Indian artists are getting popularity on the International level. This has proved beneficial for the art scene in India. New artists are getting the right platforms for exposure. Also, in contrast to the times when artists had a hard time getting buyers for their work, paintings & portraits are getting exposure and the works are being lapped up by people from across the world. The paintings by famous Indian artists have gone on to fetch millions.

Another avenue for enjoying the exhibitions from artists is the modern art gallery.  A modern art gallery exhibits the works of the artists. This could be a panorama of work over the years or just the latest the artist wishes to unveil.

The art scene has opened now to assessment and valuation so as to understand the worth of the works of different artists. This helps in getting the right price for the artist and also brings in a more balanced system when it comes to reaching the correct valuation for a work of art.
