They exploded art-world conventions with brazen disdain. Dismissed as trivial gimmickry and praised for its witty energy, their art made a mark both on the art scene and on public consciousness that continues to reverberate today.

The Young British Artists (YBAs) stormed on to the contemporary art scene in 1988 with their attention-grabbing, ironic art. They exploded art-world conventions with brazen disdain. Dismissed as trivial gimmickry and praised for its witty energy, their art made a mark both on the art scene and on public consciousness that continues to reverberate today. Now, almost three decades after they emerged, 'Artrage!' tells the story of the YBAs with the benefit of perspective, chronicling the group's rise to prominence from the landmark show 'Freeze' curated by Damien Hirst, through the heyday of the 1990s and the notorious 'sensation' exhibition, to the Momart fire of 2004 that seemed to symbolize the group's fading from centre stage.
