This art movement emerged in the late 1980s, it began around a series of artist led exhibitions an in particular the freeze exhibition in 1988 organised by Damien Hirst while he was still studying about Goldsmiths College. It was then supported by Charles Saatchi who collected the work of Young British Artists and showcased it in shows such as the sensation exhibition in 1997.
The core of artists associated with the YBA movement all graduated from Goldsmiths Collage London and it is said that Michael Craig Martin one of the tutors there at the time had fostered this new way of working.

Damien Hirst
Is it ethical to kill an animal for art? Damien Hirst has paid commercial fishermen to catch a shark for his art work. I will explore the ethics behind this and compare this to killing animals for food.
I think that it's not the same as killing an animal for food because it seems like there is no point in killing an animal just for it to be put on show.
Tracey Emin
This tent is controversial because in the tent is a list of names who Tracey Emin has slept, this is controversial because the people not want to have their names in a tent and being classed as art.
