Goldsmiths College

Many of the generation of 'Young British Artists', working in London from the late 1980s met at Goldsmiths College. Their reputation for wit and irreverence first emerged through events like the 1988 exhibition Freeze held at Surrey Quays and curated by Damien Hirst when he was still a Goldsmith's student. Many of the artists, including Marc Quinn, Gary Hume and Sarah Lucas have since become international names.
