Critics Review
‘An excellent primer on the rise and fall, successes and failures of a moment in British art. It catches the brio of the people involved, charts the connections that they forged; the friendships, the fall-outs, the partner swapping … and celebrates the art they created’ - The Herald ‘Back in the early 1990s, the British art world changed forever thanks to a band of bright young things who weren’t afraid of controversy …‘Artrage!’ details that blistering scene and looks at its place today’ - It’s Nice That ‘Well-illustrated, studiously researched’ - Daily Telegraph
