Description:  134 pages : color illustrations ; 23 cm.

Although we live in a era when anything can be art, not everything qualifies ; Nice rebellion, welcome in! : is art still capable of shocking us or have we seen it all before? -- I found myself in the art world : how do you become a contemporary artist? -- The end.

His 2013 BBC TV Reith Lectures were the most popular since the series began.
