Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A personal perspective on the contemporary British art scene is given by art critic Matthew Collings in this follow-up to the critically acclaimed Blimey. He examines how art attitudes and behaviour and art fashions have seeped into the wider culture. He questions what people want from Art now and who they think it is. He asks what the intellectual currents are that run through it and what are its values. Collings takes the reader on a personal journey into the London art scene to seek out the answers.
