Young British Artists or YBAs (also Brit artists and Britart) is the name given to a group of
conceptual artists, painters, sculptors and
installation artists based in the
United Kingdom, most (though not all) of whom attended
Goldsmiths College in
London. The term Young British Artists is derived from shows of that name staged at the
Saatchi Gallery from 1992 onwards, which brought the artists to fame. It has become an historic term, as most of the YBAs are now in their forties. They are noted for "shock tactics", use of throwaway materials and wild-living, and are (or were) associated with the
Hoxton area of East London. They achieved considerable media coverage and dominated British art during the 1990s.
