 Young British Artists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Young British Artists or YBAs is the name given to a group of conceptual artists, painters, sculptors and installation artists based in the United Kingdom, most (though not all) of whom attended Goldsmiths College in London.
The composition of the Young British Artists at their height is documented in the catalogue for the 1995 British Art Show.
Another artist who picked up on this theme was Tracey Emin who started her Tracey Emin Museum in Waterloo Road in 1996.

 Tracey Emin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tracey Emin (born 3 July 1963) is a British artist, one of the so-called Young British Artists (YBAs).
Emin's relationship with the artist and musician Billy Childish led to the name of the Stuckism movement.
Emin's father was married to a woman other than her mother and while still young he abandoned the family which lead to a decline in their standard of living, an event which has featured in a number of works.

 British Artists Have Been Taking Risks, and Flak, for Years
These artists emerged as a potent force in London in the early 1990s, and their work forms the core of the "Sensation" exhibition now generating so much light and heat at the Brooklyn Museum of Art.
The Young British Artists were welcomed, too, in the frisky European contemporary art world, giving London an international reputation for being a place where things were happening again.
Young artists saw the rest of the country kicking to life in a capitalist way, so they decided to put on their own shows and exhibitions, rather than waiting for galleries."

 Tate Glossary Young British Artists (YBA)
Young British Art can be seen to have a convenient starting point in the exhibition Freeze organised, while he was still a student at Goldsmiths College in London in 1988, by Damien Hirst, who became the most celebrated, or notorious, of the YBAs.
In the late 1980s British art entered what was quickly recognised as a new and excitingly distinctive phase, the era of what became known as the YBAs - the Young British Artists.
Goldsmiths, which was attended by many of the YBAs, and numbered Michael Craig Martin among its most influential teachers, had been for some years fostering new forms of creativity through its courses that, for example, abolished the traditional separation of the media of art.

 High Art Lite - Julian Stallabrass
Young British Artists (yBAs) are much discussed, with Damien Hirst and his preserved animals, Rachel Whiteread and her empty spaces, Chris Ofili and his elephant dung, and many others rising to international prominence.
Quoting artists and critics extensively, and with pictures of many examples of the art being discussed, High Art Lite is a useful, balanced introductory account of British art in the 1990s.
Fascinated by the phenomenon, Stallabrass examines it from all aspects, devoting chapters to the art itself, to the artists, the role of the media, Saatchi, Sensation, galleries and curators, the Turner prize, and more.

 CNN - Young artists making a 'Sensation' in London - October 26, 1997
Lee said such exhibits are becoming more common among artists, who correlate fame to the amount of press coverage they generate, often to the detriment of their long-term artistic impact.
Although many of the featured artists have won international acclaim and fame, some critics say their brand of "shock art" fails to reach the creative heights attained by old masters.
Lee concedes that some of the great artists of the past set a bad example for artists today.

 [No title]
In short, what we have is a group of young artists who, due their own foresight and entrepreneurial powers have risen in fame and celebrity, alongside a renaissance of the swinging London, to achieve near mythical status.
This to some extent, is partly manufactured by the British Council and their sponsorship of some of these exhibitions and artists.
However, if their demise actually is in sight, no one seems to have told the galleries; a new exhibition of 'Yba' artists, Life/Live, opened in Paris in November.

 Find Free Essays on YOUNG BRITISH ARTISTS OF TWO ERA'SFRANCIS BACON & DAMIEN HIRST
In this respect there seems to be a clear link between the “Young British Painters” exhibition at Agnew’s in London in 1937 which featured Bacons work and the Freeze Exhibition of the “Young British Artists" exhibition organised by Hirst nearly 50 years later (1988).
There are examples of work from other artists contemporary with Bacon which deal with destruction and decay; the most famous of which must be Pablo Picasso’s (1882 to 1973) Battle of Guernica which was painted in a few months in 1937.
He began dabbling with oil paint and had a joint show with a friend — Roy de Maistre but this was a small affair it was not until 1933 that Bacon really made his mark as a painter at the age of 24.

 Spectator, The: When up is down and in is out
These are, in art world parlance, not simply British artists who are young, but a kind of group, a sort of movement, but one too amorphous to be given a more precise label on the lines of, say, 'grungists', or `art generation X', or something.
A couple of recent ones in the Turner Prize show are derived from a 15th-century French tapestry and a portrait of a woman by the Flemish artist Petrus Christus, her face almost effaced by a lemon yellow blob.
That is, it contains, as has become customary, one representative of each of the arts currently considered worth encouraging: one photographer, one installation artist, one video artist and one painter.

 Outrageous Show of Young British Artists Heads to Brooklyn Museum

The most extreme reaction was to the artist Marcus Harvey's depiction of Myra Hindley, who was convicted in the macabre "moors murders" of children in western England in the 1960s.
