Young British Artists (YBAs)

Young British Artists (YBAs), also known as Britart or Brit artists, refers to a group of artists who began exhibiting together in London in 1988. Most of them graduated from the BA Fine Arts course at Goldsmiths in the late 1980s. The YBAs are known for their wild lifestyles, use of unconventional materials, and a combination of entrepreneurial and oppositional attitudes. They dominated the British art scene in the 1990s and gained significant media attention. Many of these artists were initially supported and collected by Charles Saatchi, a key figure in their rise to prominence.

Photogravure

Photogravure is a high-quality printing process that involves etching a photograph onto a copper plate. The plate is inked and pressed onto paper, producing fine art prints with detailed, soft tones and rich textures. Developed in the 19th century, photogravure is renowned for its ability to create art reproductions with exceptional depth and subtlety.

Art Intervention

Art Intervention refers to art created with the intention of interacting with an existing situation, structure, artwork, audience, or institution. This form of art gained popularity in the 1960s as artists sought to provoke change within political and social contexts. The concept of Artist-in-Residence programs was influenced by the ideas and practices of this movement.
