The 20th century represented a paradigm shift in art history—radical art movements were introduced, nontraditional materials were experimented with, and new mediums were embraced. A new avant-garde sprang forth nearly every two decades, giving rise to abstract, installation, performance art, and more, laying the groundwork for the contemporary moment. Markedly, more artists are engaging in a multidisciplinary approach to art-making, especially one that transcends painting and two-dimensional art. These artists are unlocking new frontiers in sculpture and mixed media.
