The result of the debate was delete

None proposed, the first two of them incorrectly named, and none of them even close to being usable in their current malformed state. Not surprisingly, none of them are in use. Given the two conflicting meanings of the word "contemporary" and the often conflicting definitions of the description "contemporary art", the third is also a poor choice for a split. Schools and styles of art are not, in any case, a standard method for splitting artist stubs, given the often overlapping nature of the styles and the different styles which individual artists may use during their careers (and if we were, "contemporary" art still wouldn't be one of them, given that it's a grab-bag agglomeration of several different styles and schools which we would be better off splitting individually) - we use nationality as the primary way of splitting them.
