Sensation: Young British Artists from the Saatchi Collection

Product Description The opening of the ‘Sensation’ exhibition at the Royal Academy in the late 1990s caused a public furore and a media frenzy, with both broadsheet and tabloid journalists falling over themselves to comment on the show’s controversial images, and unprecedented crowds queuing up to see for themselves what all the fuss was about.
