Filmed in Europe, the United States and Australia in 1985-6, the six programmes feature many key artists including — in addition to Basquiat and Warhol — Cindy Sherman, Antony Gormley, Hans Haacke, Eric Fischl and Joseph Beuys. The films also explore the intellectual context of the time and the ideas of post-modernism.

The series was originally seen on Channel 4 in Britain, and then shown in more than 20 countries.
