Lucky Kunst: The Rise and Fall of Young British Art

In January 2009 we will be publishing Lucky Kunst by Gregor Muir, a follow-up to Aurum’s very successful $12 Million Stuffed Shark which we have just reprinted for the third time.

Lucky Kunst is the first history of the Young British Artists by the “only embedded” journalist of the movement. These days artists like Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin are big business and major celebrities. But Gregor Muir knew them all at the start of their careers.

His unique memoir is the first history of the birth of Young British Artists, and a slice of London subculture.
