Abstract	:	This dissertation explores the exhibition Sensation: Young British Artists from the Saatchi Collection (1997-99), which opened in London before traveling to Berlin and New York. It considers the reception of Sensation in all three cities, with particular attention to the controversies the show ignited in the United States and Britain. I explore how culture battles in Britain tend to reflect questions of public funding and contested notions of what counts as art, whereas in the United States, art controversies are most often initiated by religious debates tied to conservative politics. The dissertation also traces the development of the young British artist (YBA) phenomenon which began in the late 1980s, and its Faustian relationship with the media, as well as with advertising mogul, collector, patron and art dealer Charles Saatchi (who co-curated the Sensation exhibition from his collection). I also analyze Charles Saatchi's art activities and impact on contemporary British art. Finally the dissertation contextualizes Sensation in relation to selected art controversies in Britain and the United States. I conclude with a consideration of the role, function, and possibility for the production of avant-garde art at the turn of the millennium.
