Thank you, Ellen. I responded before I saw your message--you stated it
better than I did.

I would like to suggest that
"contemporary art" (unlike Impressionism, for instance, or Modernism) should
never be capitalized. Contemporary art is merely art of one's own time; it
is not a style, a philosophical outlook, or anything less than an expression
of a zeitgeist. If our time is that of post-Modernism, just as the first
half of the century was the era of classical Modernism, then post-Modernism
is our contemporary art.
