Title first published in 2003. What happened to art in Britain when
the balance began to shift from public to private subsidy following
the IMF crisis in 1976? In this polemical book, Neil Mulholland
charts the political and cultural shifts in art in Britain from the
mid-1970's to the end of the twentieth century. His account covers
the key trends and artists of this extraordinarily diverse period,
including critical postmodernism, feminism, neoconservatism, object
sculpture, the new image, Brit Art, and Scottish neoconceptualism,
and traces the development of critical thinking from the opinions
of critics such as Richard Cork, John Roberts and Matthew Collings
to tabloid press art scandals. The Cultural Devolution offers a
broad critical and historical framework within which to understand
public debate on the merits of young British artists such as Damien
Hirst while looking beyond such celebrities to re-discover the
wealth and range of work produced. Essential reading for anyone
interested in contemporary art in Britain.
