      Sensation is a definitive survey of 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 uniquely supported British art today, extending his commitment beyond well-known figures like Damien Hirst and Rachel Whiteread to numerous emerging talents. The book showcases the work of forty-two radical artists, including Jenny Saville, Jake & Dinos Chapman, and others who are making significant contributions to contemporary art. It features original essays that provide critical context and trace the evolution of the British art scene since the pivotal 1988 exhibition "Freeze." Sensation cuts through sensationalist media coverage and art-world debates to highlight the achievements of young British artists and the impact of imaginative patronage. Notable artists included are Darren Almond, Richard Billingham, Glenn Brown, Simon Callery, Adam Chodzko, Mat Collishaw, Keith Coventry, Tracey Emin, and many more. This comprehensive exploration reveals the dynamic landscape of British art and the innovative spirit driving it forward.
