The Young British Artists, or YBAs〔Sometimes with lower case, as "young British artist(s)" or "yBa".〕—also referred to as Brit artists and Britart—is the name given to a loose group of visual artists who first began to exhibit together in London, in 1988. Many of the artists graduated from the BA Fine Art course at Goldsmiths, in the late 1980s. The scene began around a series of artist-led exhibitions held in warehouses and factories, beginning in 1988 with the Damien Hirst-led ''Freeze'' and, in 1990, ''East Country Yard Show'' and ''Modern Medicine''. They are noted for "shock tactics", use of throwaway materials, wild-living, and an attitude "both oppositional and entrepreneurial".〔Bush, Kate. "Young British art: the YBA sensation", ''Artforum'', June 2004, p. 91. Retrieved from (findarticles.com ), 14 March 2010.〕 They achieved considerable media coverage and dominated British art during the 1990s—international survey shows in the mid-1990s included ''Brilliant!'' and ''Sensation''. Many of the artists were initially supported and collected by Charles Saatchi. Leading artists of the group include Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin. Key works include Hirst's ''The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living'', a shark preserved in formaldehyde in a vitrine, and Emin's ''My Bed'', a dishevelled double bed surrounded by detritus. The first use of the term "young British artists" was by Michael Corris in ''ArtForum'', May 1992.〔Corris, Michael. "British? Young? Invisible? w/Attitude?.", ''ArtForum'', May 1992, p. 109. Retrieved from (), 20 April 2011.〕 The acronym term "YBA" (or "yBa") was not coined until 1996 (in ''Art Monthly'' magazine). It has become a historic term, as most of the YBAs were born in the mid-1960s. ==Origin== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Young British Artists」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
