The Art of Now
All works of art have their source in a concept, an idea. From the design on the packaging of a two-minute noodle packet, to the work of Andy Warhol, the concept is what starts things cooking in the kitchen. The National Contemporary Art Award gives us a glimpse of current ideas in art.
