New is a selection of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art's most recent acquisitions of contemporary British art, including paintings, photographs, sculptures, works on paper, installations, artist books and a DVD projection. Revealing the broad range of ideas and media used by artists working in Britain today, this book examines, in detail, over 150 works by over eighty artists. The selection includes many of the artists who have risen to prominence in the last decade, such as Damien Hirst, Douglas Gordon, and Rachel Whiteread, as well as recent works by more senoir figures such as Lucien Freud, Alan Davie and Ian Hamilton Finlay.
