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 Though some of the works have been exhibited, much of the collection remained unseen and unpublished.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 1,000 works in his collection are arranged chronologically. The reproductions are juxtaposed with essays, articles, cartoons, and interviews with the artists represented.

Maylis de Kerangal

Jessica Moore

A Novel

Named a most anticipated book of 2021 by The Guardian | The Millions

An aesthetic and existential coming-of-age novel exploring the apprenticeship of a young female painter

In Maylis de Kerangal's Painting Time, we are introduced to the burgeoning young artist Paula Karst, who is enrolled at the famous Institut de Peinture in Brussels. Unlike the friends she makes at school, Paula strives to understand the specifics of what she's painting--replicating a wood's essence or a marble's wear requires method, technique, and talent, she finds, but also something else: craftsmanship. She resolutely chooses the painstaking demands of craft over the abstraction of high art.

With the attention of a documentary filmmaker, de Kerangal follows Paula's apprenticeship, punctuated by brushstrokes, hard work, sleepless nights, sore muscles, and long, festive evenings. After completing her studies at the Institute, Paula continues to practice her art in Paris, in Moscow, then in Italy on the sets of great films, all as if rehearsing for a grand finale: a job working on Lascaux IV, a facsimile reproduction of the world's most famous paleolithic cave art and the apotheosis of human cultural expression.

An enchanted, atmospheric, and highly aesthetic coming-of-age novel, Painting Time is an intimate and unsparing exploration of craft, inspiration, and the contours of the contemporary art world. As she did in her acclaimed novels The Heart and The Cook, Maylis de Kerangal unravels a tightly wound professional world to reveal the beauty within.

The second section, on Post-Painterly Modern Abstraction, considers options ranging from the pour-and-spatter techniques of Jackson Pollock to the staining, scraping, and abrading of modern acrylic artists. Step-by-step recipes for key approaches show artists how to get the best aesthetic results.
