With some of the finest collections in the world, London's museums and galleries alone are worthy of a trip to England's capital. With the expertise of several art historians, this book offers just the sort of insider knowledge of the art, as well as the buildings that house it, that allow insight into the broad history of a collection. With new listings of acclaimed commercial galleries and reviews of museum restaurants (some of which have become destinations in their own right), this is the perfect guide for anyone who desires a comprehensive understanding of a city's art. Color diagrams, maps, and floor plans; 40 color photographs.

What compels people to carry out attacks on art? And have these motives changed over the last 500 years? Published to accompany an exhibition at Tate Britain, this book explores the history of attacks on art in the UK, from the Reformation of the 16th century to the present day, showing how religious, political, moral, and aesthetic controversy can become arenas for assaults on art. From the state-sanctioned zeal of religious reformers and the symbolic statue-breaking that often accompanies political change to attacks on art by individuals stimulated by moral or aesthetic outrage, this study aims to present the rationale of iconoclasm and how it has become a productive and transformational practice for some contemporary artists. Termed “a fascinating exploration” by the Observer, this book offers an eye-opening look at protest.
