Introduction
• During the late 1980s and 90s, postmodernist art in Britain was
revitalized by the emergence of a confident new generation of
postmodernist artists, later dubbed Young British Artists.
• Belonging to no particular movement, or style of art, they included a
diverse mix of painters, sculptors, video/installation artists and
photographers, with no shared characteristics other than their youth,
their nationality and their involvement in contemporary art.
