 Great Product November 10, 2008
This is a great DVD for those interested in learning about comtemporary artists and how they make their art. Great for Art teachers also.
love It! March 4, 2008
I love watching Art 21 while I make my jewelry. It gives me lots of inspiration and keeps me up to date with the art world.
Interviews current artists about their own work. Valuable Resource. February 20, 2008
I found this series really useful while studying art history in college. They interview each artist who is featured about their own work and the process that they go through to create it. It helped me to appreciate their artwork in a way I wouldn't have been able to on my own. I came out of it with some new favorite artists.
It's really inspiring and current. A great resource for anyone who wants to learn more about artists creating work in the 21st century.
Good tool to know from contemporary artists November 16, 2007
I saw the programme on Tv in i just find it atractive, i needed to have this like a book to read again and again, The artist shown in this 2 seasons are quite excellent and the development of every programme is carefully and critically released on every artist exposed.
There's no such art programme in my country but if one day will be i would like it to be like this Art:21.
 Too Pretentious And Too Myopic To Give A Clear View August 28, 2007
18 out of 24 found this review helpful
The artists that are interviewed in these videos give a very myopic view of what modern artists are doing these days and what is on their minds. The focus is entirely on art stars who basically run in the same circles of galleries and therefore have a very similar sense of aesthetics regardless of medium, with very few exceptions.
There are times that a few of the artists included say some interesting things but often times enough, it's hard to see what they are saying has to do with the actual art that they are showing. Richard Sierra (1st season) and Elizabeth Murray(2nd season) are the high points of this series as I see it. They both give honest looks into their thought processes as artists, and without the pretensions of self-importance that most of the artists portray.
It's unfortunate that the producers couldn't find at least a few artists off the beaten path who are doing interesting things that aren't so main-stream for the art world. Perhaps that's too high-minded, but I think it would have made for a way more fascinating view into what is really happening in art in the 21 century!
