Sensationalists: The Bad Girls and Boys of British Art(2022)

Sensationalists: The Bad Girls and Boys of British Art is a documentary series chronicling the rise of the Young British Artists who upended the 1990s art world. Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst, and their peers burst onto the scene with work that was rebellious, provocative, and deliberately confrontational. They rejected traditional gallery conventions and embraced shock value as a tool for engagement, transforming themselves into cultural icons in the process. The series traces how these artists challenged establishment norms, courted controversy, and ultimately reshaped contemporary art. Their bold approach to creation and self-promotion made them household names and sparked fierce debates about what art could be. Sensationalists captures the energy, ambition, and defiance that defined a generation determined to shake up the art establishment.
