Sup /lit/.

I'm informed but unknowledgeable about modern art and want to get right into a few artists and discover what they're about. I'm particularly interested in people from the last 10 or 20 years with very distinct, iconic constructed personas, like Warhol, Beuys or Duchamp. The trouble is I know fuck all about contemporary art and was hoping you people may be able to give pointers

tl;dr: suggest artists from the last two decades

So you want to know about the art business and not actual art.

Duchamp died fifty years ago bro. On top of that he pretty much stopped making art after the 20's.
