Phaidon's 'Vitamin' series has long proved an extraordinarily accurate predictor of tomorrow's
stars. This paperback edition of the latest volume is a cutting-edge and indispensable survey
of the very best of contemporary drawing as chosen by a panel of the world's leading art
experts Over the past 50 years drawing has been elevated from a supporting role to a primary
medium ranking alongside painting as a central art form. Since Phaidon's publication of the
first such surveys (Vitamin D in 2005 and D2 in 2013) contemporary artists have continued to
explore drawing's possibilities - from intimate to large-scale works in a diversity of
mark-making processes and materials. Vitamin D3 showcases more than 100 such artists as

nominators include such iconic figures as: Iwona Blazwick Louisa Buck Mark Coetzee Thelma
