Paperback. Zustand: Very good in wraps. First Edition. 21 x 29cm 352pp very good paperback exhibition catalogue offering an alternative perspective to the British artworld of the last thirty years through the work of a handful of the artists most integral to it. It locates in the shifting politics of the 2010 British election and the shadow of financial failure a timely vantage from which to look from the here-and-now to the abrasive and divisive politics of the late 1980s and the biting recession of the early 1990s; the rubble from which a new British art emerged. Grand National turns to the peripheries and antidotes of this fervent, sensationalist and celebrated generation to track, through Punk, New Wave Cinema, and early modernism, the social, aesthetic, and historical contexts that drove this resistance and that further underpin an evolving contemporary art scene. Artists iclude Derek Jarman Douglas Gordon, Bank, Marcus Coates and Cornelia Parker amongst others.
