"The official picture of the 80s artworld is flat and cartoonish, an embarrasing bubble of self-indulgence irrevocably linked to junk bonds, cocaine and the gutting of the NEA."--[|LA Weekly, Doug Harvey, March 2006] This Wiki was created for a graduate class entitled "Fiction and Film of the 1980s" at Loyola College in Fall of 2007. It is not meant to be comprehensive, but rather representative. Each of the artists on the left was selected because he or she contributed significantly to the 1980s art oevre.
