Sensation: Young British Artists Hardcover Special Edition, May 5, 2009

This volume showcases groundbreaking work that has made a significant impact in the art world. Charles Saatchi, a collector and supporter of emerging British artists, has been dedicated to promoting British art as it evolves. His unwavering support extends not only to well-known artists like Rachel Whiteread and Damien Hirst, but also to those on the cutting edge of artistry.

Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Royal Academy in the fall of 1997, this volume presents the work of over 40 controversial and innovative artists from Britain. The essays included offer a critical analysis of the art and capture the essence of the British art scene in the 1990s. Contributions come from prominent individuals such as Norman Rosenthal, the Exhibitions Secretary at the Royal Academy of Arts, historian Lisa Jardine, critics Richard Shone and Brooks Adams, and painter/critic Martin Maloney.

These essays shed light on the accomplishments of young British artists while also highlighting the crucial role played by forward-thinking patrons.
