Origins and History
Contemporary history sculptures have their origin in the early 20th century, when artists began to experiment with new forms and materials. The period between the World Wars saw the emergence of modernist art movements such as Cubism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism, all of which had an influence on the development of sculpture. Important dates in the history of contemporary sculpture include the 1960s, when Minimalism and Pop Art began to dominate the art world, and the 1980s, when postmodernism emerged as a reaction to these movements.
