This book is a personal, photographic diary-record of twenty years
of the London art world, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the
London Art and Artists Guide. John Russell Taylor has written an
illuminating introduction, showing how these photographs are a
personal record of who was who and what was what on the London art
scene of the 1980s and the 1990s. These photographs will be seen in
the future as a social document, showing how exhibitions have
changed over twenty years. This book is an insider's visual diary
to the London art world, showing how it can be like the theater
stage, with players waiting in the wings: having deadaches,
hangovers, heartache and coping with gossip, pressure, competition
and occasionally auditioning for the limelight, which can be brief
or of long duration depending on passing trends. Center stage are
David Hockney, Allen Jones and other lesser known artists, beside
art dealers, critics, curators who appear in and out of
exhibitions, studios and at art fairs. "Even putting aside the
frequent beauty of these images as images, for anyone who needs to
look beyond easy nostalgia and use them as a learning tool, the
collection should be a treasure trove indeed. - John Russell
Taylor, Times, London
