On returning to the UK, he became a key figure in British conceptual art and an influential educator, linked in particular to the YBAs including Damien Hirst and Gary Hume. Craig-Martin's works transform recognisable objects - such as sneakers, headphones, watches and, most recently, Modernist buildings - with bold colour and simplified lines. He cites his 'rationalism' as the root of his practice. Craig-Martin is the latest subject of a three-year curatorial partnership between The Gallery at Windsor, Florida, and the Royal Academy of Arts, London, initiated to celebrate the Academy's 250th anniversary. This lively book reproduces a selection of his paintings, prints and sculptures, with an insightful essay by the art critic Ben Luke and an interview between Tim Marlow and the artist.

THE CLASS of 2010 Alison Taylor Meets F Ive Young Artists Exhibiting at London’S Royal Academy This Summer
ELLEELLEstylepreview OUR EDIT OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY’S UP-AND-COMING ART TALENT THE CLASS OF 2010 Alison Taylor meets f ive young artists exhibiting at London’s Royal Academy this summer. Remember their names Photographs by HENRY BOURNE OSQ L Edited by CLAIRE MATTHIAE ARTWORK JULIETTE ARTWORK From left: Jonathan Trayte, Katharina Stoever, Juliette Losq, Sarah Poots and Michael Armitage in the Royal Academy’s Drawing Room elle 00 ELLEpreview Whether it’s the giant silver baubles that dominated the famous courtyard at Anish Kapoor’s 2009 show or Tracey Emin’s controversial Summer Exhibition offerings, you can always(art) rely on London’s Royal Academy of Arts to cause a stir. Today, ELLE heads there to interview some of the art world’s brightest new talents. The Royal Academy Schools – a magical rabbit warren of studios – has been an integral part of the institution since its foundation in 1768. Past students include the master painters JMW Turner, William Blake and John Constable. Then there are today’s governing members, known as Royal Academicians, who include Tracey Emin and painters Peter Blake and Gary Hume, bringing Britain’s oldest art institution up to date. The RA Schools Show, which showcases its graduates’ efforts, is one of the hottest dates in the calendar. This is, of course, due to the incredible standard of work on view, but is also thanks to the attention it attracts. The man who has launched a thousand art careers, Charles Saatchi, has been known to buy entire collections on opening night. We caught up with five of the most promising talents from the class of 2010.

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.

State of the Art: the Future of the UK's Cultural Sector
State of the art: the future of the UK’s cultural sector Candida Gertler, the co-founder of the Outset, and Louise Evans, regional manager for the UBS Art Collection, discuss how to safeguard the future of the visual arts BY FRANCES HEDGES JUL 27, 2020 When the most-visited museum in the UK – London’s Tate Modern – shut its doors on 17 March, it was only the start of a flurry of closures in the art sector that were soon to become mandatory for galleries, auction houses and studios. With no confirmed reopening date in sight or most large arts venues (these are deemed ‘higher-risk’ by the government and are therefore subject to more careful monitoring), the year ahead is bound to be challenging for an already cash-strapped industry. Yet paradoxically, the past few months of isolation have, more than ever, shown us the value of culture in connecting us across seemingly impossible divides. Whether we have been admiring the countless rainbow drawings decorating the windows of people’s homes or logging on to one of the many free-to-view online exhibitions hosted by British galleries, art has been a valuable source of solace in turbulent times. For Candida Gertler, a leading art philanthropist who co-founded the Outset Contemporary Art Fund in 2003, this is clear evidence that culture is an essential, not a luxury. “It’s elementary for a healthy society, especially in times like this, because it stops us from descending into depression,” she argues. “Damage to our mental health can come at a huge cost, so there’s no better long-term investment a business can make in terms of promoting wellbeing.” Candida Gertler LARRY BUSACCAGETTY IMAGES One such business is UBS, which has a 60-year history of collecting contemporary art and has maintained its commitment to the sector throughout the pandemic.

Sarah Lucas (B.1962) Self-Portraits 1990–98
Sarah Lucas (b.1962) Self-Portraits 1990–98 Key Facts: • Medium: Iris print • Size: 12 prints, dimensions variable (height: 78–98 cm; width: 72–90 cm) • Collection: British Council Collection 1. ART HISTORICAL TERMS AND CONCEPTS Visual analysis: The series comprises a mixture of black-and-white, colour and collaged photographs. The artist is the subject of each image, though her appearance varies greatly. Art History in Schools CIO | Registered Charity No. 1164651 | www.arthistoryinschools.org.uk In the majority, we see Lucas’ face looking out as us from behind a dark curtain of hair. Provocative or arresting, she challenges us to return her gaze. In other photographs, she is engaged in an activity, smoking and/or on top of, or sandwiched between, a toilet. Neither type presents her in a light we might expect from a female artist; rather, her unflinching gaze and androgynous appearance suggest that gender is something fluid and up for question. One photograph stands apart from others in the series: entitled Summer (1998), it depicts liquid being thrown at Lucas’ face. The fluid distorts Lucas’ features and causes her to look away from the lens. In many of the photographs, additional objects add humour and interest: a skull, fried eggs, knickers, a large fish, a mug of tea, a banana. Together with Lucas’ candid postures, sexual puns are made more apparent and the objects themselves become symbolic. Lucas’ legs spread wide and ending in heavy-duty boots are often photographed from below, with this view enhancing our impression of them as strong and dominant. The photographs are both a retort to the laddish culture of 1990s Britain and a reflection of the growth of the ‘ladette’.

My Bed on the Market for the First Time Yba Icon Sold to Benefit the Saatchi Gallery’S Foundation
PRESS RELEASE | LONDON FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – 28 MAY 2014 TRACEY EMIN’S MY BED ON THE MARKET FOR THE FIRST TIME YBA ICON SOLD TO BENEFIT THE SAATCHI GALLERY’S FOUNDATION My Bed Mattress, linens, pillows and objects 31 x 83 x 92⅛in. (79 x 211 x 234cm.) Executed in 1998 Estimate: £800,000 -1,200,000 London – On 1 July, Christie’s will offer one of the most iconic works from the YBA movement, Tracey Emin’s My Bed, 1998, in the Post-War & Contemporary Art Evening Auction, London. Building on Christie’s recent success with Sensation generation artists, including record prices for works by Jenny Saville and Gary Hume in the February 2014 Evening Auction, and for a more recent work by Tracey Emin (To Meet My Past, 2002) in Christie’s October 2013 Thinking Big auction of sculpture from the Saatchi Gallery Collection, we anticipate a strong degree of interest in this work. A major piece that encapsulates Emin’s deeply personal work exploring the relationship between her life and her art, My Bed caused a furore when it was shortlisted for the Tate’s Turner Prize in 1999, prompting widespread public debate about the nature of contemporary art. As Francis Outred, Christie’s Head of Post- War & Contemporary Art, Europe, says: ‘In My Bed (1998) Tracey Emin shares with us her most personal space, revealing a dark moment from her life story with startling honesty and raw emotion. Her ability to integrate her work and personal life to a point where they become indistinguishable creates an intimacy with her viewers and asks us to witness her cathartic practice as a means of her survival.

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.
