Post-YBAs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Post-YBAs refers to British artists emerging in the 2000s after the Young British Artists. The label has generally been used as a loose critical category rather than as the name of a formal movement or self-declared group.[1][2]

Post-YBA artists include Martin Maloney.[3] Jeremy Deller,[citation needed] Tim Noble and Sue Webster,[4] Mike Nelson,[5] Carey Young,[6] Eva Rothschild,[7] Darren Almond,[8] David Thorpe,[9] and Oliver Payne and Nick Relph.[10]

According to Matthew Higgs, Simon Starling's winning of the Turner Prize in 2005 reflected a post-YBA sensibility which is more modestly material and formal than spectacle-driven.[11] Enrico David tapped into a post-YBA vogue for craft.[12] The post-YBA generation has also been associated with neo-conceptual art with a political edge.[13]
