Inhaltsangabe

the americans. newart. is the first book to survey the most recent wave of American contemporary art. The book features thirty of the most important artists to have emerged from the USA in the last five years, including some young artists who are just starting to establish their international reputations. The last time the American art scene was so active was in the eighties, which saw the emergence of a brat pack of celebrated artists. This phenomenon died along with the economic boom and international attention turned to other countries - including Britain. However, the wave of American artists that began to emerge in the later nineties is carving out a distinct identity for itself.

Reseña del editor

The last five years has been a period of explosive activity in the American art scene. This definitive survey of its most exciting and ebullient contemporary artists was shown at London's Barbican Art Gallery. Respected British curator Mark Sladen explored both East and West Coasts to select new work by emergent and cult figures, from Keith Edimier's silicone cast of himself in his mother's womb to Amy Adler's portraits of teen icons, Sarah Sze's sprawling installations to Paul Pfeiffer's intricate laser-fused powder sculptures.
