Institute of Contemporary Arts
This publication is dedicated to the first two decades of the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London, presenting a thorough history of the organisation’s roots in post-war Britain, its mission of providing a physical base for the avant-garde, and its laying the groundwork for a continuing contribution to the evolution of contemporary art.0Anne Massey’s account is comprehensive in its scope, emphasising the ICA’s being openly fluid and responsive to fluctuations in artistic culture with groundbreaking exhibitions and very personal approach. Besides a foreword by executive director Gregor Muir, the book includes numerous archival images and a detailed chronology.
All Tomorrow's Pictures
ALL TOMORROWS PICTURES is a celebration of the ICA's 60th anniversary. Some of Britains leading artists, thinkers and creatives including Tracey Emin, Jake and Dinos Chapman and Idris Kahn have each delivered a unique response to the question ''What will tomorrow look like?'' by taking a photograph on a Sony Ericsson mobile phone.

Through diligent research, interviews, and countless images, Kasia Maciejowska honours the group's legacy.
Dorothy Morland
This is the first, full-length biography of Dorothy Morland (1906-1999) who remains the only female Director of the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London. The book traces her busy private and public life throughout the 1930s up until the 1990s. It is based on unpublished letters and other archival sources, as well as interviews and personal recollections. It tells the story of one of the unacknowledged contributors to the success of the ICA and to the understanding of the international avant garde in post-war Britain.
