Art21: Art in the 21st Century is an award-winning series of 24 programmes in which one hundred contemporary artists explain their creations, their creative processes, and their perceptions of art. Intimate footage allows the viewer to observe the artists at work and watch their process as they transform inspiration into art.

Available for the first time on DVD in the UK, the series covers a wide range of contemporary artists including Ai Weiwei, Jeff Koons, Cindy Sherman, Richard Serra, Bruce Nauman. These artists and many more open up their studios and share with us their approach to creating a work of art.

Art 21 offers insights into the entire spectrum of contemporary visual art forms from sculpture, installation and conceptual art to photography, painting and ceramics. The series has established itself as the preeminent resource on contemporary art and artists. The straightforward approach of presenting artists at work and in their own words demystifies contemporary art, sparking discussion and inspiring creativity.

“For anyone who does not have daily exposure to the art and artists of our time, this series is invaluable. Even for those of us who do, this series offers unique insights and reflections..” Agnes Gund, President Emerita, MOMA New York
