  • Nights Underground in Darkest London: the Blitz, 1940–1941
    Nights Underground in Darkest London: The Blitz, 1940–1941 Geoffrey Field Purchase College, SUNY After the tragic events of September 11, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani at once saw parallels in the London Blitz, the German air campaign launched against the British capital between September 1940 and May 1941. In the early press con- ferences at Ground Zero he repeatedly compared the bravery and resourceful- ness of New Yorkers and Londoners, their heightened sense of community forged by danger, and the surge of patriotism as a town and its population came to symbolize a nation embattled. His words had immediate resonance, despite vast differences between the two situations. One reason for the Mayor’s turn of mind was explicit: he happened at that moment to be reading John Lukacs’ Five Days in London, although the book examines the British Cabinet’s response to the German invasion of France some months before bombing of the city got un- derway. Without doubt Tony Blair’s outspoken support for the United States and his swift (and solitary) endorsement of joint military action also reinforced this mental coupling of London and New York. But the historical parallel, however imperfect, seemed to have deeper appeal. Soon after George W. Bush was telling visitors of his admiration for Winston Churchill, his speeches began to emulate Churchillian cadences, Karl Rove hung a poster of Churchill in the Old Execu- tive Office Building, and the Oval Office sported a bronze bust of the Prime Min- ister, loaned by British government.1 Clearly Churchill, a leader locked in conflict with a fascist and a fanatic, was the man for this season, someone whom all political parties could invoke and quote, someone who endured and won in the end.

La mostra è, in seguito, riproposta a Berl ino e New York e diventa, grazie all’abilità manageriale di Saatchi e alla sua rete di contatt i sviluppata negl i anni precedenti con la sua att ività di pubbl icitario, l’evento artistico del momento e un riferimento importante per il mercato dell’arte portando alla ribalta una serie di giovani art isti inglesi come: Jake & Dinos Chapman, Adam Chodzko, Mat Coll ishaw, Tracey Emin, Marcus Harvey, Damien Hirst, Gary Hume, Michael Landy, Abigail Lane, Sarah Lucas, Chris Ofil i, Richard Patterson, Simon Patterson, Marc Quinn, Fiona Rae, Sam Taylor-Wood, Gavin Turk, Gill ian Wearing, Rachel Whiteread. Gl i artist i della Yung British Art propongono opere che sol itamente tendono a stupire e a provocare lo spettatore.

Silkscreen print with deboss elements, 67 × 67 cm, Edition of 10 (2AP) ICA Artists’ Editions and Paul Stolper Gallery collaborate for the first time to present a joint exhibition of artists’ editions at Paul Stolper Gallery, opening 12 January 2019.

The exhibition provides an opportunity to view a selection of important editions from the last 40 years: from Peter Blake’s Art Jak, commissioned by the ICA in 1978 to raise funds for the institution, to Jeremy Deller’s iconic and catalysing print The History of the World, published by Paul Stolper in 1998, to Jenny Holzer’s pivotal Inflammatory Essays, first fly-posted around New York in the late 1970s and then created as an edition for the ICA in 1993. www.ica.art The Mall London SW1Y 5AH +44 (0)20 7930 0493 Tracking the course of editions produced by ground-breaking artists such as Cerith Wyn Evans and Sarah Lucas, the exhibition explores the potential of the format and the numerous ways that artists have engaged with the editioning method of creation. The exhibition is inspired by conversations between Paul Stolper, Stefan Kalmár (ICA Director) and Charlotte Barnard (ICA Artists’ Editions) on the radical history and potential of the editioned artwork, which can free the artist from the demands of their primary practice or gallery expectations.

  • Young British Artists: the Legendary Group
    Young British Artists: The Legendary Group Given the current hype surrounding new British art, it is hard to imagine that the audience for contemporary art was relatively small until only two decades ago. Predominantly conservative tastes across the country had led to instances of open hostility towards contemporary art. For example, the public and the media were outraged in 1976 when they learned that the Tate Gallery had acquired Carl Andre’s Equivalent VIII (the bricks) . Lagging behind the international contemporary art scene, Britain was described as ‘a cultural backwater’ by art critic Sarah Kent. 1 A number of significant British artists, such as Tony Cragg, and Gilbert and George, had to build their reputation abroad before being taken seriously at home. Tomake matters worse, the 1980s saw severe cutbacks in public funding for the arts and for individual artists. Furthermore, the art market was hit by the economic recession in 1989. For the thousands of art school students completing their degrees around that time, career prospects did not look promising. Yet ironically, it was the worrying economic situation, and the relative indifference to contemporary art practice in Britain, that were to prove ideal conditions for the emergence of ‘Young British Art’. Emergence of YBAs In 1988, in the lead-up to the recession, a number of fine art students from Goldsmiths College, London, decided it was time to be proactive instead of waiting for the dealers to call. Seizing the initiative, these aspiring young artists started to curate their own shows, in vacant offices and industrial buildings. The most famous of these was Freeze ; and those who took part would, in retrospect, be recognised as the first group of Young British Artists, or YBAs.

In this major new study, Claire Brock examines the cultural, social and self-representation of the woman sur- geon from the second half of the nineteenth century until the end of the Great War. Drawing on a rich archive of British hospital records, she investigates precisely what surgery women performed and how these procedures affected their personal and professional reputation, as well as the reactions of their patients to these new phenomena. Also pub- lished as open access, this is essential reading for those interested in the history of medicine. British Women Surgeons and their Patients, 1860– 1918 provides wide-ranging new perspectives on patient narratives and women’s participation in surgery between 1860 and 1918. This title is also available as Open Access. claire brock is Associate Professor in the School of Arts at the University of Leicester.

  • 'Reforming Academicians', Sculptors of the Royal Academy of Arts, C
    ‘Reforming Academicians’, Sculptors of the Royal Academy of Arts, c.1948-1959 by Melanie Veasey Doctoral Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University, September 2018. © Melanie Veasey 2018. For Martin The virtue of the Royal Academy today is that it is a body of men freer than many from the insidious pressures of fashion, who stand somewhat apart from the new and already too powerful ‘establishment’.1 John Rothenstein (1966) 1 Rothenstein, John. Brave Day Hideous Night. London: Hamish Hamilton Ltd., 1966, 216. Abstract Page 7 Abstract Post-war sculpture created by members of the Royal Academy of Arts was seemingly marginalised by Keynesian state patronage which privileged a new generation of avant-garde sculptors. This thesis considers whether selected Academicians (Siegfried Charoux, Frank Dobson, Maurice Lambert, Alfred Machin, John Skeaping and Charles Wheeler) variously engaged with pedagogy, community, exhibition practice and sculpture for the state, to access ascendant state patronage. Chapter One, ‘The Post-war Expansion of State Patronage’, investigates the existing and shifting parameters of patronage of the visual arts and specifically analyses how this was manifest through innovative temporary sculpture exhibitions. Chapter Two, ‘The Royal Academy Sculpture School’, examines the reasons why the Academicians maintained a conventional fine arts programme of study, in contrast to that of industrial design imposed by Government upon state art institutions for reasons of economic contribution. This chapter also analyses the role of the art-Master including the influence of émigré teachers, prospects for women sculpture students and the post-war scarcity of resources which inspired the use of new materials and techniques.
