New Art From London

An original, incisive, and provocative survey of what's happening at the heart of contemporary visual culture in Britain. After a decade of British art that revolved around sensation and celebrity, New Art from London identifies the emergence of a more mature and motivated group of artists. But this isn't a coherent generation of artists with a manifesto, nor is this a book about promoting the latest fad or predicting future Turner Prize winners. New Art from London suggests that there's a new sense of seriousness about art in Britain-as well as irony, wit, and intelligence.
