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 nominated by a global panel of more than 70 international art experts.
The more than 70 nominators include such iconic figures as: Iwona Blazwick, Louisa Buck, Mark Coetzee, Thelma Golden, Laura Hoptman, Geeta Kapur, Pablo León de la Barra, Christine Macel, Kate Macfarlane, Hans Ulrich Obrist, and Zoe Whitley.
The more than 100 selected artists include: Miriam Cahn, Robert Crumb, Tom Friedman, Tania Kovats, Claudette Johnson, Rashid Johnson, Otobong Nkanga, Toyin Ojih Odutola, Deanna Petherbridge, Christina Quarles, Qiu Zhijie, Nathaniel Mary Quinn, Wael Shawky, Emma Talbot, and Johanna Unzueta.

Title: Beautiful book
Review: This book is beautiful, and the title is absolutely correct, âVitamin Dâ for a daily dose of drawing. Itâs a collection of various artist profiles and examples of their art. Itâs full of great drawings. I got it for my own inspiration, and it delivers. Itâs a larger coffee table size. The paper is off-white and matte and the print quality is excellent. Solid choice for those who like drawing and art.

Title: Very nice compedium of a variety of contemporary drawing
Review: Very nice compedium of a variety of contemporary drawing. Nice layout. Easy to read. Nice color illustrations. And it is a lot of book to look at. It is something I will use as a resource - not just a quick read and on the shelf.

Title: Inspiration from artists around the world
Review: This book, which was a stretch to buy, is just the kick in the butt I needed to realize that drawing is so many things, and yes, thatâs the skill I aim to develop. Amazing, talented and diverse work from around the world, approaching a huge variety of subjects, itâs like a manual on what drawing can be and the power that good drawing holds.

Title: A must have!
Review: A striking look at drawings from around the world! I was trained in realism but amazed at the creative efforts from these artists. The book shows and rivals painters at expressing intelligent feelings about the world the artists inhabit. Well worth the money!

Title: Cool art, less interesting conceptually.
Review: This is a big, heavy book with high quality paper. It is really cool. I didnât find the artists as interesting as the first book though. This book seems to have more formal and less conceptual consideration than the first Vitamin D book.

Review: Great book as I expected. Poor package. Too large packaging, just an ordinary cardboard box where 3 identical books could fit, with some sheets of paper around, everything loose, without being properly packed to prevent "floating" or moving inside the box.
