  • Descrição: Contemporary British art has never enjoyed the same esteem as literature, drama or music, and public taste has frequently favoured the conventional more than the innovative and avant-garde. London is a major centre for progressive and avant-garde art, and the principal centres for exhibitions by major artists include Tate Modern, the Hayward Gallery, the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), the Whitechapel Gallery and Camden Arts Centre among others. The most prestigious is the Stirling Prize, which is named after the British architect James Stirling, and is given to Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) architects of the building that has made the greatest contribution to British architecture in the past year. Consumer objects were becoming increasingly available, such as TVs and record players for the consumption of mass culture. Design was a key element of their popularity, with light, efficient shapes made of plastic, and smooth, brightly coloured surfaces, which were free of decoration and adornment.
