Contemporary British Medals

The last decade has seen a remarkable revival of interest in metallic art in Britain. Here, for the first time, the work of forty contemporary artists is described and illustrated, including medals by Lynn Chadwock, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Elisabeth Frink and Ron Dutton. A summary of the career of each artist shows the wider context in which the medals have been produced and a technical section explains the methods of production. This generously illustrated and highly informative survey of British medallic art today celebrates the spectacular achievements of the last fifteen years.

Mark Jones is an Assistant Keeper of the Department of Coins and Medals at the British Museum.
