"Young British Art presents an exciting overview of the most compelling work by young British artists from the past decade as seen through the eyes of British advertising magnate and collector Charles Saatchi. Today more than a decade after Saatchi began buying the work of then-unknowns such as Damien Hirst Marc Quinn Rachel Whiteread Gary Hume Fiona Rae Jenny Saville Jake and Dinos Chapman Mark Wallinger and Sarah Lucas these artists have become international pacesetters of contemporary art -- and the Saatchi collection the most important of its kind. Though some of the works have been exhibited much of the collection remained unseen and unpublished. In this major volume 800 paintings sculptures photographs and installations chosen by Saatchi from the 1000 works in his collection are arranged chronologically. The reproductions are juxtaposed with essays articles cartoons and interviews with the artists represented." - Publisher.
