Prodigies, revolutionaries, defiers of the patriarchy; drunks,
rebels and impassioned immigrants; queer pioneers, paint-spattered
punks and proto-feminists: there have always been artists in
London. Some were celebrated in their lifetime, others were
out-of-step with the spirit of their age: too radical, too
subversive, too modest, too female, too foreign. Art London is more
than a guidebook. It will accompany you on a journey through this
great city, telling stories, uncovering histories, sharing insights
into those who have made, collected and influenced art past and
present. Moving neighbourhood by neighbourhood, Art London travels
the streets with you, revealing art in museums, galleries and
beyond, from palace to pub to studio. Anish Kapoor, Grayson Perry,
Mona Hatoum, John Akomfra, Rasheed Araeen, Sunil Gupta, Tracey Emin
and Yinka Shonibare were among the artists who agreed to have their
portraits taken for this book, while at work in their studios. Alex
Schneiderman's exclusive photographs reveal the human element
behind contemporary art, while pictures of streetside galleries
place London's art scene within an ever-expanding cosmopolitan
world. Fascinating, entertaining, full of anecdote and insights,
Art London reflects the city itself: energetic, diverse, resilient,
occasionally outrageous, and never short of fresh ideas. Also in
