Synopsis:

After a decade of art revolving around sensation and celebrity, New Art from London identifies the emergence of a more mature and motivated strain of artists. Although far from being a coherent generation of tyros with a manifesto, their work suggests, along with irony, wit and intelligence, a new sense of seriousness about art in Britain. Taking readers to the heart of British contemporary visual culture, this incisive and provocative survey will be essential reading for anyone involved or interested in art and its relationship to everyday life. Author Biography Chris Townsend is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Media Arts, Royal Holloway, University of London. Among his previous books are Rapture: Art's Seduction by Fashion 1970 - 2001, The Art of Tracey Emin (co-editor), The Art of Bill Viola and The Art of Rachel Whiteread.

The Bookworms Mission:

We strive to reduce unnecessary landfill by taking used books, second-hand books, paperback books, hardback books, pre-loved books, great reads and recycled books and then redistributing them throughout New Zealand, Australia and the rest of the world. Readers can connect online with book titles, helping them find new homes, and support reusing and re-loving books that are affordable. At Bookworms you’ll find cheap books, hidden gems and even some lost treasures. We have a passion for sustainability, being eco-friendly, eco-conscious and we aim to incorporate that into all that we do.
