DESCRIPTION:
. Barry Schwabsky is a London-based writer. Currently International Reviews Editor at Artforum and Art Critic at The Nation, he has contributed to numerous art publications, including Phaidon's Jessica Stockholder (1995) and Vitamin P (2002), and is the author of The Widening Circle: The Consequences of Modernism in Contemporary Art
Over 80 international critics, artists and curators have nominated the 115 artists who have made a fresh, unique or innovative contribution to recent painting. The first volume of Vitamin P, published in 2002, inaugurated a vibrant period for painting. All of the artists in Vitamin P2 have recently emerged onto the international scene, and none appeared in the first Vitamin P.An introduction by Barry Schwabsky, who also wrote the introduction for Vitamin P, provides a broad overview of recent developments in the medium while also looking towards its future.. Since its publication, a whole new generation of painters has emerged, some inspired by the artists who appeared in that book, others taking cues from new sources. Vitamin P2: New Perspectives in Painting introduces this new wave of painters to the world.The vast medium of painting continues to be a central pillar of artistic practice, and Vitamin P2 presents the outstanding artists who are currently engaging with and pushing the boundaries of the medium
"Leading critics, curators, and academics profile the latest contemporary painters making a splash in an up-to-the-minute overview."- C MagazineCompiled with the nominations of curators, critics, and art historians, the book is a must-read for any art lover."- ELLE

Being an artist myself, I always like to stay current with whats going on either nationally or internationally artistically as I am still working my way into the art world at a late stage in life. I thought the work was kind of cool and interesting and thought it could be inspirational as well as comparative and liked it at the boo. Five Stars A great collection of relevant contemporary painters. Highly recommended.. Vitamin P 2 Laurie Rawlins A non-mint copy of the original Vitamin P is always in my painting studio - sticky tabs sticking out the top and side, binding repaired with gaff tape and, because the artist names were so small (6 font?) and written in red, I rewrote all 114 artist names five times larger with an extra fine sharpie. (I am near sited, but not blind). I love Phaidon Publishing, but at times it seems that production decisions are ludicrous - trying to be cute?The number one improvement in Vitamin P2 is I can READ the artist's names and the bios. As with the previous edition, t
