Book Description

Publication Date: February 15, 2001

Featuring interviews with, and artwork by, such hot British artists as Mona Hatoum, Sam Taylor-Wood, Rachel Whiteread, Willie Doherty, Tracey Emin, Douglas Gordon, Abigail Lane, Angela Bulloch and Sarah Lucas, Art from the UK documents an exhibition at the Goetz Collection in Munich. The Goetz Collection is one of the most important collections devoted solely to contemporary art, and is housed in its own small private museum, designed by renowned Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron. The works presented here exemplify the Goetz Collection's dedication to innovative art--from Mona Hatoum's surprising and complex mixture of media, to Rachel Whiteread's inverted spaces, to Sam Taylor-Wood's explorations of the erotic entanglements of people in closed spaces. The interviews offer a tremendous insight into the changing creative processes and aesthetic philosophies of this new wave of British artists.

This review is from: Art From The Uk: Angela Bulloch, Willie Doherty, Tracey Emin, Douglas Gordon, Mona Hatoum, Abigail Lane, Sarah Lucas, Sam Taylor-Wood, Rachel Whitread (Hardcover)

I found this book ot be an excellent asset to my collection of modern british art. I thought that the large amount of content was covered thouroghly, but not drawn out to get stale(just like the artwork itself, discussed). This is a very important book because it recaps all of what is happening with the yBa movement in the artworld. This book is for anyone who wants to be on top of the world of modern art.
