"Thirteen distinguished European and American professors, historians, and curators have provided provocative essays on the true position of the modern London art world. The series will become a substantial contribution to international culture if its future books are as successful as this first one."—Virginia Quarterly Review
"These incisive essays often give new insights into the private motives and meanings behind the public posturing of artists and their supporters."—Anthony Lacy Gully, Albion
