Description: "This book focuses on a new generation of British artists who are discovering the wide-ranging possibilities for self-expression offered by medals. Made to be handled as much as to be looked at, these works have a potency that comes especially to the fore once they are held and turned in the hand. The tactile is as important as the visual in a way that cannot be said of any other artistic medium. Made in the first years of the 21st century, the medals in this book provide a glimpse into what the future holds for this intriguing but little-understood art form." -- Back cover.
