Craig Richardson here addresses key areas of cultural politics and
identity in a way that not only illuminates the development of
Scottish art, but teases out another strand of the plurality of
developments which led to the success of artists throughout the UK
in the 1990s. It is of the highest relevance whether one's
perspective is that of the development of the Scottish art, British
art or European art of this period. The book adds significantly to
our knowledge of the art of this period in a way that will aid not
only our historical understanding but our understanding of the
dynamics of art practice today. Providing an analysis and including
discussion (interviewing artists, curators and critics and
accessing non-catalogued personal archives) towards a new
chronology, Richardson here examines and proposes a sequence of
precisely denoted 'exemplary' works which outlines a self-conscious
definition of the interrogative term 'Scottish art.' Among the
artists whose work is discussed are John Latham, Simon Starling,
Alan Johnston, Roderick Buchanan, Glen Onwin, Christine Borland,
William Johnstone, Joan Eardley, Alexander Moffat, Douglas Gordon,
Alan Smith, Graeme Fagen, Ross Sinclair and many others. The
discussion culminates in a critically original demonstration of the
scope for further research and practice within the subject,
facilitating national cultural debate on the character of
Scottish-national visual art.
