About
What makes a cult artist?
Whether challenging societal ideas about art or speaking out about philosophical, social and ethical concerns: cult artists are nothing if not divisive. Some gain instant fame, others instant notoriety. More still remain anonymous until a change in fashion propels them into the limelight.
Cult Artists handpicks 50 notable figures from the modern art world and explores how they use art as a form of revolution. From iconic pioneers Salvador Dali and Frida Kahlo to radical activists such as the Guerrilla Girls and Nan Goldin, little knowns with small, devout followings to superstars gracing the covers of magazines. Each artist is special in their ability to inspire, antagonize and delight.
