The first inside account of the rise of Britain’s most notorious modern art movement is a hilarious, picaresque chronicle of dissoluteness, drunkenness, and epically bad behavior
 
Today artists such as Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, and the Chapman brothers are not only big business but also, quite simply, celebrities. But they rose from obscurity back in the 1980s and 1990s in a then-semi-derelict part of east London by visiting upon the art world a set of artworks as outlandish and attention-seeking—not to mention scatological—as their general behavior. This is the first account of how the YBAs (Young British Artists) came about, by the group’s only "embedded journalist"—an outrageously comic tale of White Cube gallery openings, fights in pubs, vomiting into fountains and, eventually, the breakthrough 1997 exhibition Sensation which later toured to New York and was criticized by Guiliani. Throughout, Gregor Muir was there.

Recenzijas

'This lucid, lurid, indiscreet memoir is an unrivalled record of 1990s Cool Britannia, when British Art ruled the world' Financial Times 'An absorbing and intelligent account of the times, this is a must-read for anyone interested in contemporary art or the 1990s Brit Scene' The Bookseller 'I think Gregor's anecdotal journey of 10 years in the British art world is a fantastic historical document...his book describes those defining moments so well.' -Tracey Emin The Independent 'Sharply atmospheric...a picaresque journey, a fly-in-the-vitrine's-eye view of the period' -- Hermione Eyre New Statesman 20090212 'All the stars of the YBA movement appear in this former journalists memoir, swearing and yelling as they go' -- Matthew Collings Observer Review 20100221
