Unique record of UK art history August 29, 2008
My Experience
This is the definitive book of the definitive exhibition of Brit art. It contains iconic images and good texts, and is very attractively laid out with full page colour illustrations of the major works. If you are interested in contemporary British art, then this is a "must have" item.
if you dont know modern art, start here! March 6, 2006

this is a great book as it is art from the sensation exhibition. It has work from all the leading british artists who kick started british art back in the early ninetys and gives you an all round feel for what was going on at the time, people such as tracy emin, damien hurst, sarah lucas etc.
there is a short explanation of the artist and each piece at the back, not in depth.

I went to the Sensations exhibition over six years ago and found it to be both shocking and exciting. The exhibition was initially aimed at shocking its viewers by doing things nobody had thought of before. As an artist myself, I found the exhibition to be really interesting and I learnt a lot from it. Beware, I would not recommend this book to the skweemish, vegetarians (it has cut up and mutilated animals) or to children as some pictures are very shocking and disturbing.
Years on I regreted not buying the book at the exhibition as I have learnt so much about so many artistic possibilities from the exhibition. I will say that this is one of the best exibitions I have been to and the book proudly shows this.
a book for all art enthusiasts December 7, 2000

this book really is a must for anyone looking for a book which covers modern art. it features brilliant modern artists such as sarah lucas, gary hume and rachel whitread. the book is actually from the saatchi collection, but is still worth buying.
