Contemporary British Art: An Introduction
Never, according to an article by the art critic Louisa Buck in the Evening Standard magazine last year, has the following quotation from US Museum Director Thomas Hoving, seemed more apt: ‘Art is sexy! Art is money-sexy! Art is money-sexy-social-climbing-fantastic!’ This book provides an introduction to British art, in all its money-sexy glory, from the YBA’s to the present. It covers a range of art forms, from painting and sculpture to video and installation art.

Cultural Studies Book of the Month, April 2010
This insightful critical biography shows us an Edward Said we did not know. H. Aram Veeser brings forth not the Said of tabloid culture, or Said the remote philosopher, but the actual man, embedded in the politics of the Middle East but soaked in the values of the West and struggling to advance the best European ideas. Veeser shows the organic ties connecting his life, politics, and criticism.
