New British Art in the Saatchi Collection

The Saatchi Collection is unique. Perhaps best known for its American and European Art, in recent years it has expanded to focus on the extraordinarily creative works of art produced by British, and British-based, artists, and now offers a kaleidoscopic view of recent British painting and sculpture. Contemporary British painting, though it has been strong in the UK for some thirty years, is now beginning to take its place on the world stage. The influence of new British sculptors is even more widely felt, yet the literature on them has hitherto been sparse. This is the first book to celebrate these twin British successes. With over 200 colour reproductions "New British Art" offers students and collectors, as well as a much wider audience, an unrivaled opportunity to examine in depth the achievement of more than twenty of the most significant artists of our time.
