Talk:Sensation (art exhibition)

Coments
I'm going to be coming back to this page to do some minor edits but I can't save it to my sandbox at the moment (don't know why) so I had to save it to Wikipedia.Penguin2006 00:47, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Good Page
Good piece of writing and well balanced. I think it is worth mentioning that while many of the key works in the exhibition such as Hirst's Shark and Emin's Tent had become well known to the general public through reproduction and parody. Sensation was the first opportunity a wide audience had had to see them in the flesh. The antagonistic response of the media including the art press was also partly the predicted response of any 'in-crowd' when a previously exclusive subject becomes common currency.

Martin Mahoney acted as curator with Norman Rosenthal. The catalogue essay by Richard Shone is the authoritative account of the YBA years and clears up many confusions.

Thanks
Thanks for the compliment. Especially welcome as I've only done a few edits so far. I was surprised that the subject had no entry as it was mentioned on several other pages, such as the Royal Academy and Mayor Rudi Giuliani. I visited the exhibition myself in London while I was studying art so that gave me a personal interest. I'll add your info, thank you for it.

Next to do: find out how to make a disambiguation page for Sensation because at the moment it just gets you straight to Sensation, the sense, and I need it to act as a gateway. Penguin2006 09:32, 13 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Couldn't find a confirmation about Martin Mahoney co-curating the exhibition, but I've edited the entry with some of your of your other helpful info and comments. Thanks. Penguin2006 13:43, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
