To celebrate, comes Vitamin P, a lavish, affordable and truly international overview of 114 artists nominated by critics and curators ... this is one vitamin that is incontravertibly of benefit to everyone and just the pep pill these artists deserve.' (i-D)
'[Vitamin P] provides unusual depth for a survey of this scope ... Barry Schwabsky's perceptive introductory essay provides an excellent map of how we got here ...' (Flash Art)
