contemporary works
Current creative output
Works created in the present era or recent past, typically by living artists, writers, or composers.
The boundary shifts with time—what counts as contemporary depends on when you're asking.
In art and literature, contemporary works often contrast with classical or historical pieces: The museum's new wing showcases contemporary works.
The term implies current relevance rather than a fixed date range.
