	Young British Artists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Young British Artists or YBAs is the name given to a group of conceptual artists, painters, sculptors and installation artists based in the United Kingdom, most (though not all) of whom attended Goldsmiths College in London.
		One of the visitors to Freeze was Charles Saatchi, the notorious contemporary art collector and co-founder of Saatchi and Saatchi, the London advertising agency.
		The composition of the Young British Artists at their height is documented in the catalogue for the 1995 British Art Show.

	British Art Show - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British Art Show (BAS) is a major survey exhibition organised every five years to showcase contemporary British Art.
		As a snap shot of Contemporary British Art the exhibition has some equivalence to the biennial exhibitions of the Whitney Museum of American Art.
		As the exhibition opened at the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead there was some comment that there were few artists represented from the North East of England.

	British Pop Art - American Pop Art
		English art critic Lawrence Alloway used the term "Pop" first to describe the art that made use of the objects, materials and technologies from mass culture to bring out the yields of the industrial society.
		Pop Art definitely broke the hegemony of the Abstract Expressionism in Europe and United States that occupied center art stage in 1950's-1960.

		The Yale Center for British Art was completed, after Kahn's death, in 1974.

	Apollo: Modern British painting: after decades in which twentieth-century British art was seriously undervalued, prices ...
		British art has always been consistently underpriced, says James Hyman, of James Hyman Fine Art, but now prices are gradually beginning to reflect the quality of the works.
		Modern British art cannot be readily segregated into groups of artists or defined by a single characteristic; there is no discernible linear art-historical development within the twentieth century in the UK.
		British artists of the period were inherently individual, largely isolated from the fashions and movements that took hold of the continent and the us, thanks in no small part to two world wars.

	20th WCP: The British Avant-Garde: A Philosophical Analysis
		For application of this concept to art explains what occurs conceptually when the viewer shifts from identifying a work, as an art object, and then as not an art object, and explains why nothing is ruled out.
		For application of the concept of seeing-as to art explains what actually occurs conceptually and perceptually when the viewer or viewers shifts from identifying the same work at one time, as an art object, and at another time as not an art object, and explains why nothing is ruled out.
		We might argue that it is precisely because there is a possibility in all cases of a change of aspect that it is possible for ordinary objects to become art objects—as in the case of Edward Weston’s photographs of green peppers, or Duchamp’s urinal, and in the case of the British Avant-Garde artists.

		The Art Journal was the most influential art periodical of the second half of the 19th c.
		Though the editors were opposed to medievalism in art and design, the articles they published by antiquarians, such as the multipart "Domestic Manners of the English during the Middle Ages," helped propel the medieval revival, directly influencing artistic subject and renderings, and provided a positive reception for Pre-Raphaelitism.

	British Empire: Art and Empire
		Members of the dominant group invariably use art as a device to explain and justify their power, to express the mystique of rulers, and to illustrate their knowledge and command of the natural world.
		The British visual arts were unquestionably stimulated by imperial rule: the experince of warfare and of economic and political power, and the encompassing of almost the entire world and its peoples within a new global order led to a remarkably innovative drive in artistic technique, taste and sensibility.
		Yet indigenous art survived, whatever Europeans might think of it, as a sort of underground river which was to break surface in the twentieth century.

	A very British art \| And all that Malarkey
		It was announced yesterday that one of the most influential artists of the British 1960's art movement, Patrick Caulfied, died on Thursday.
		However looking at the diverse work of distinctly British artists such as Patrick Caulfield and Peter Blake, I would argue that it is their approach, their influences and their cultural surroundings which have made them both quintessentially British and distinctive from their American peers.
		British design often, to my mind, has a bredth and depth which is recognisable, but distinctive.

	Amazon.com: High Art Lite: British Art in the 1990s: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Oxford art historian Stallabrass attempts an unmasking of their work as "high art lite," incisively arguing that most of it is neither formally innovative nor conceptually rich, and that many pieces owe their popularity and indeed their very existence to the ministrations of the art's major collector--British ad mogul Charles Saatchi.
		Through the term "high art lite" author Stallabrass has also coined something that may very well come to be as useful a putdown in the art world as "politically correct" has been in politics.
		The practitioners of high art lite may very well be turning their backs on what art "can be," but the main reason for this is undoubtedly because the vast majority of them could hardly do otherwise.

		In fact, YBA lingered only momentarily on the margins, soon to be eagerly embraced both by the institutions and by the market, as evidenced by Hirst's precocious debut solo show at the age of twenty-six, at the ICA London in December 1991.
		Nineteen ninety-two was a defining year in the YBA generation's evolution into the dominant grouping within British art.
		When Frieze magazine launched in July 1991 with a Damien Hirst butterfly painting on the cover, and Artscribe, the journal that had dominated in the '80s, closed in February 1992 with a Damien Hirst spot painting on its cover, it was clear that the baton had been passed.

	ArtLex on Art
		At least art involves a degree of human involvement -- through manual skills or thought -- as with the word "artificial," meaning made by humans instead of by nature.
		Early in the twentieth century, for instance, artists expanded the definition of art to include such things as abstraction, collage, and readymades.
		Thanks to art, instead of seeing a single world, our own, we see it multiply until we have before us as many worlds as there are original artists.
