Young British Artists or YBA (also referred to as Brit artists and Britart) is the name given to a loose group of visual artists who first began to exhibit
together in London, in 1988
The Saatchi Gallery
The Saatchi Gallery was opened to the public in February 1985, to exhibit the art Saatchi had collected

Julian Stallabrass Senior Lecturer in Art
History at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London.
"As the art market revived [in the early- to mid- 1990s] and success beckoned, the new art became more evidently two-faced, looking still to the mass media and a broad audience but also to the particular concerns of the narrow world of art-buyers and dealers. To please both was not an easy task. Could the artists face both ways at once, and take both sets of viewers seriously? That split in attention, I shall argue, led to a wide public being successfully courted but not seriously addressed. It has left a large audience for high art lite intrigued but unsatisfied, puzzled at the work's meaning and wanting explanations that are never vouchsafed: the aim of this book is to suggest the direction some of those answers might take and to do so in a style that is as accessible as the art it examines.”

Mother and Child,

‘I am aware of mental contradictions in everything, like: I am going to die and I want to live for ever. I can’t escape the fact and I can’t let go of the desire’.

The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living 1992, Tiger shark, glass, steel, 5%
formaldehyde solution, 213 cm × 518 cm (84 in × 204 in), Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City
Damien Hirst b. 1965
"Mr. Hirst often aims to fry the mind (and misses more than he hits), but he does so by setting up direct, often visceral experiences, of which the shark remains the most outstanding. In keeping with the piece’s title, the shark is simultaneously life and death incarnate in a way you don’t quite grasp until you see it, suspended and silent, in its tank. It gives the innately demonic urge to live a demonic, deathlike form.
