High Art Lite, by Julian Stallabrass

By Boyd Tonkin
Saturday, 18 August 2001

Sick of Tracey, Damien, Gilbert & George, Jake'n'Dinos, and all the usual Saatchi-Turner art tarts? This swingeing, eloquent assault on the BritArt circus will delight lefties rather than fogeys (and Sewells). For it locates the shame of this amply-funded gang in the dehumanising market forces that made them, not in their Sensation-seeking style. Stallabrass recalls the John Berger of the 1970s as he thunders that "it becomes increasingly difficult to criticise art because that amounts to criticising business".
