Best works were brought to The Hermitage (St.Petersburg) from The Saatchi Gallery (London) for a 3 month exhibition. I founded this as a "must see" and do not regret visiting the exhibition

Despite the rise of China and other nations the USA is still  the only superpower. It determines the world's political and economic agenda, both for better and for worse: its policies and judgements, not to mention its cultural influence, are still decisive. 'The Iron Curtain' has disappeared to be replaced by 'The War on Terror' with horrendous and divisive consequences. What has young America's reaction been to this moment? In this selection of the work of young American artists, each confronts not only their own fundamental questions, but also global poverty, inequality and population migration, not to mention the gigantic environmental problems that confront the world as a whole. Gay politics, women's politics, Islamic politics and black politics all have their echo here.
An artist is, of course, only a singular being who has to find his or her personal myth and language, grounded perhaps in politics, or in contemporary sexual mores. As in each generation, every artist of note remains in his or her work an individual. The best of them are highly innovative but also aware of the past and the culture all around them. If today's world sometimes has cause to despair of America, it still remains a great country in which the arts of all kinds are flourishing. Hope for the future of any culture must lie in its young people's potential for creativity
