Description
New British Painting Phaidon is a definitive and ambitious survey from 1988. It documents the extraordinary renaissance of British painting during the 1980s. Leading art historians Edward Lucie-Smith, Carolyn Cohen, and Judith Higgins compiled this volume. It originally accompanied a major exhibition that travelled across the United States.
This book provides an in-depth profile of 48 pivotal artists. These painters shaped the decade and the legendary ‘School of London.’ The volume features over 120 large-format, vibrant colour plates. The images are scholarly and the essays remain accessible to all readers.
Karin’s Choice – Art collectors respect Phaidon art books for their museum-level quality. This 1988 survey represents a true ‘Skat.’ It captures the explosive energy of the British art scene. Specifically, the book features icons like Lucian Freud and Frank Auerbach. Finding a 1980s Phaidon book with a pristine black dust jacket is nearly impossible. This specific copy looks like it came from a time capsule
