	Young British Artists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The work of the group was dubbed Britart, the phrase being attributed to a series of exhibitions organised at the Saatchi Gallery in 1990/1.
		Formed in 1988, at a time when public funding for art was not readily available (and had been reduced by the Thatcher government), a group of 16 artists were invited by Damien Hirst to take part in an exhibition called Freeze.
		In 2002 Britart was heavily criticised by the leading conductor Sir Simon Rattle, who was, in return, accused of having a poor understanding of conceptual and visual art.

	Burn, BritArt, Burn - [Sunday Herald]
		The point about BritArt, and the reason it deserved to be torched, was that it pretended to be daring and pretended, moreover, to stand at the centre of cultural life.
		For a while, BritArt made a lot of individuals in London feel that they were in on something important, not to mention profitable, and potently fashionable.
		BritArt was second cousin to Cool Britannia, a marketing ploy passing itself off as a defining moment.

		The destruction of millions of pounds worth of modern artworks at an east London warehouse is a devastating blow to the movement known as Britart.
		Saatchi has said he is "devastated" by his loss, while the wider art world is beginning to coming to terms with what is a severe body blow.

	sGallery: ART news archive - The triumph of painting? That's a pretty rich claim
		If Britart means an energetic bunch of work produced around the beginning of the 1990s, then obviously that has had its moment.
		This means that the centrepiece of its previous exhibitions, the crowd-pulling icons of Britart, the bed, the shark, the tent, the dead dad, the frozen blood head, the giant anatomical model, all these toys have been put away.
		If what you mean by the end of Britart is a waning of interest in Britart, I suppose not having its star-works in the same collection may well make a difference.

		BritArt has admittedly, brought us one or two iconic pieces, most notably Hirst's mawkish animals in formaldehyde series; they will no doubt endure as the movement's signature pieces.
		Despite my vitriolic contempt for the BritArt artists, it would be unreasonable to say any appreciation of the movement is invalid.
		BritArt substituted craftsmanship, skill and talent for 'the originality of ideas'; the result was art, which provoked one dimensional and unambiguous emotions, predominantly disgust and unease.

	Establishment offers Britart sensation a seat at its table - Arts - smh.com.au
		Chris Ofili, the artist who has both scandalised and delighted audiences with his richly decorated paintings encrusted with elephant dung, is to become artist in residence at the National Gallery in London.
		It is a surprising step for the National Gallery, an unshakeable bastion of traditional high culture, to be employing the services of an artist who symbolises, perhaps more than any other, Britart cool.
		It is difficult, he says, "to adapt to a change in contemporary taste while retaining the integrity of what one does", and he admits the National Gallery has not always done so successfully.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Arts news \| Saatchi sells Britart classic for £1.5m
		Three years ago, there were delicious rumours, hotly denied, that builders employed to refurbish Saatchi's kitchen in honour of his celebrity chef wife, Nigella Lawson, accidentally melted it by unplugging its electricity supply.
		The works have been sold, by and large, to the US, where Britart is increasingly popular, with shows by such artists as Sarah Lucas and Gary Hume displayed in the most fashionable galleries in New York's Chelsea district.
		The move also signals that Saatchi's eye is turning towards painting, as seen in the current Triumph of Painting show at the Saatchi Gallery, and the drift of taste towards German work (Wolfgang Tillmans, Jürgen Teller, Gerhard Richter et al) and the next big thing: art from China.

	k-punk: UPDATE
		A perfect summation of the confused mixture of populism and elitism that underlies the Britart aesthetic.
		Neither Hirst nor Emin's work is centrally concerned with self-reflexive Duchampian notions about art - Emin's work is a perfect example of having gone beyond that stage, taken it for granted, and still struggled for years to create something from her own experience that evokes specific complexes of affect.
		clarification, since 'britart' is a label of convenience for the media, the end of it could only be 'a symbolic event' within the confines of their limited worldview (but isn't that what symbolism always is, the interpretation of events through a prejudiced, partial schematic of thought) - hence tabloid symbolism.
