Leading authorities explore the transition from the High Victorian period to the counterculture of the 1960s and the Young British Artists of the 1990s. The book brings to the fore Britain’s complex role as a focus for the dissemination of modernist ideas, as well as the reaction against them, and details the political, social, and commercial relationships underpinning the role of art and artists in the history of modern Britain.
Chris Stephens is curator of modern British art and head of displays at Tate Britain. David Bindman is Emeritus Professor of the History of Art, University College London.
