Summary: Days Like These provides an accessible and extensively illustrated snapshot of the state of contemporary art in Britain today. Published to accompany the second Tate Triennial exhibition, it presents 23 artists working in a variety of mediums, including painting, sculpture, film, video, photography, and sound works, and provides an opportunity to see the work of such emerging artists as Gillian Carnegie and Jim Lambie alongside new work by such established names as Richard Hamilton, Cornelia Parker, Richard Deacon, and Rachel Whiteread. Whatever their medium, artists today are scrutinizing art and its history as closely as they scrutinize the world we live in. Days Like These reveals the breadth of thoughtfulness, humor, subtlety, and complexity in contemporary British art.
