Sensation is a definitive survey showcasing the younger generation of British artists who have captivated the international art scene with their vitality and inventiveness. Charles Saatchi, a dedicated collector and patron, has played a pivotal role in supporting British art, extending his commitment beyond well-known figures like Damien Hirst and Rachel Whiteread to include many emerging talents at the forefront of contemporary art. The book features the work of forty-two radical artists, some of whom, like Jenny Saville and Jake & Dinos Chapman, are already internationally recognized, while others are on the cusp of acclaim. Original essays provide critical context for their work and explore the evolution of the British art scene since the landmark 1988 exhibition "Freeze," which marked a turning point in British art history. Sensation cuts through sensationalist media coverage and art-world debates to highlight the achievements of young British artists and the impact of innovative patronage. Featured artists include Darren Almond, Richard Billingham, Glenn Brown, Simon Callery, Adam Chodzko, Tracey Emin, and many others, each contributing to the dynamic landscape of contemporary British art.
Most art instruction books are much too general for the beginner. But every volume of The DK Art School gives the reader the precise information needed to create a delightful work of art.
