by Art21January 30, 2024 3:57:00 total runtime

Watch each of the thirteen full segments from Season 6 of Art21’s Peabody Award-winning Art in the Twenty-First Century series.

Timely and timeless, global and local, beautiful and provocative, contemporary art challenges us to look at our world in new ways. Contemporary artists grapple with the complex issues of our time, ask tough questions, and make works that delight, amaze and sometimes unsettle audiences worldwide. Season 6 includes 13 profiles of artists from five continents. Spanning the globe from Nigeria to New York City, from Beijing to Brazil, the episodes reveal the artists at work and speaking in their own words as they demonstrate the power of art to alter perception, challenge convention, and change how we see the world around us.

Season 6 premiered in May 2012 on PBS.
