	London art scene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The defining moment for the contemporary London art scene was Freeze, the 1988 warehouse exhibition organised by Damien Hirst.
		Socially that London art scene is organised around private views, exhibition openings and the 'after party', the latter usually held at a club, local pub or studio space.
		Also, there is a large number of loosely associated scenes, such as a sound art scene, film makers, collaborative artist groups, studio collectives, the live art scene etc. who all put on their own events, exhibitions, concerts, screenings and shows.

	Art of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scenes from the Bible were depicted, framed with the ancient patterns.
		British art in the later Middle Ages was part of the International style and often as such its painting and art in that period is not distinctive to much of other northern European art.
		A notable event in British art history is the adoption of Protestantism by Henry VIII of England in 1536 and the subsequent seizure of property belonging to the Catholic church by the state (See Dissolution of the Monasteries).

	CNN.com - arts & style - London art scene booming in unexpected places - September 14, 2000
		The new Tate Modern for 20th-century and contemporary art in the disused Bankside Power Station on the south bank of the Thames is just one of the many lottery-funded arts projects in London.
		"The contemporary art explosion stems from the crossover between pop and rock music, videos and artists, the power of the advertising agent and collector Charles Saatchi and the publicity for new art forms by Nicholas Serota, director of the two Tates in London and others in St. Ives and Liverpool," Waddell says.
		This year, she also published "The London Art World 1979-99," a book of her fl-and-white photographs of the art scene, which she hopes will become a document of the changes -- from clutter to minimalism, from abstraction to figuration to conceptualism.

		Outside the ballet-company and department-store circuit, many of London's commercial galleries remain small and idiosyncratic--ideal for site-specific installations and ideally forgiving where emerging artists are concerned.
		In the last five years, the number of galleries has mushroomed, the focus of activity has shifted from the West End to the East End, where many artists live, and several of the city's most interesting spaces have found the means to expand.
		For instance, though contemporary art is generally presumed to eschew spirituality and religion, in London that just ain't so.

		Among the highlights of London's summer art scene were two museum surveys: a buoyant Malcolm Morley show at the Hayward Gallery and a small, but exciting Rachel Whiteread exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery.
		The convulsive upheavals that Morley effected in his art, however, led him to a new means of expression.
		Following the aquatic theme, Whiteread's Monument evokes the scene of the1805 naval battle for which the square is named, and thus eloquently corresponds, at least this summer, with Morley's maritime domain.

		LONDON—The impact of the recently opened Tate Modern on the British art world is so sweeping and complex that the history of the London scene may now be divided between BTM and ATM—the eras before and after this gargantuan museum's debut.
		The local scene was faltering; four good London art schools poured artists into a moribund system.
		Because their scene is so much smaller and always circling its wagons against marauding tabloids, there's a sense of camaraderie that's absent here.

		Along the way he takes a look at various trends from Shock Art to Pop to the School of London, including the philosophies of each as well as a descriptive sampling of the works of their various adherents.
		The current London art scene is beautifully dangerous and the SENSATION Show(and I hope its catalog goes into print in the US soon)may be, in the end, as influential as the 1913 Armory Show, so it deserves study.
