Abstract

This essay explores Beech and Roberts’ theory of the philistine in relation to the emergence of The Young British Artists. It specifically addresses the work of Sarah Lucas in terms of philistine modes of attention. There is a focus on the collaborative aspect of artist, gallery and viewer in relation to sculptural and installation contemporary art.
