Western art history draws on periodization as a method for organizing knowledge about the art of the past. This article examines the use of periodization in Turkey between 1970 and 2010, focusing on a select number of Turkish-language narratives, published in books, journals, and exhibition catalogs. The artistic periods of Modern and Contemporary art, which are common in traditional Eurocentric art history, are also present in Turkish art history but followed by an additional period, which can be translated as Current. The use of shorter artistic periods in Turkish art history also presents differences to Western conventions, as the short periods can refer to a specific type of art as well as a period. This article examines different narratives, identifying novelties, changes, and repetitions in Turkish art historiography over a period of forty years. It discusses how Turkish art history challenges established models of modern art history. It aims to reveal the diverse temporal and original arrangements of the past, many of which are found in vernacular narratives and confront global dominant art histories.

“…One difficulty to define contemporary is that for a certain period in history, all the art forms created in that period can be called "contemporary," so the definition of contemporary for art historians varies from one person to the other. Alexander Alberro (Alberro, 2008), for example, defined contemporary art in a specific period of time. He sees the years following 1989 as a new historical period for art history, in the context of the collapse of the Soviet Union, globalization and the beginning of the "digital era."…”

This research parsed entries of eight contemporary art journals from 1960 to 2015 by Natural Language Processing (NLP) and got 7000 words. These words were then analyzed by three methods: 1) word frequency, 2) word frequency trend analysis based on linear regression, and 3) word frequency variation model analysis based on curve clustering. The data were classified into a five-category set and a ten-category set, along with a ten-word-frequency-variation-model. Based on the above data study, this paper analyzed the resulted trends from political, economical, technological and art perspectives. The conclusion is that hot topics in American contemporary art vary with contemporary social backgrounds.
