Summary:

This book describes some 80 gallery spaces in London, focusing on the best contemporary art the capital has to offer. The selection spotlights those spaces crucial to the phenomenal interest in British art over the past decade, and those that will ensure its place in public consciousness well into the new century.

Now in its second edition, art london traces the key developments of the past 18 months. Venues range from the magnificent Tate Modern at Bankside to the superb new galleries of Victoria Miro and Jay Jopling, both of whom have made the journey east, to the many alternative spaces that still operate despite spiralling rents. Texts encompass the key personalities, including recent arrivals such as us superdealer Larry Gagosian, as well as the most exciting exhibitions. A geographic guide to the vast array of art being produced and shown in the capital, art london will be equally useful to the connoisseur and the uninitiated or simply curious
