As the Royal Academy of Arts readies itself for its 250th anniversary, there is no better time to learn about the history of the organisation. RA Now offers a fascinating insight into the Royal Academy today, through the work of our Royal Academicians, established and practicing artists and architects. The volume also includes contributions from the next generation of artists, graduates from the RA Schools.

RA Now was produced to accompany an exhibition of work by living Royal Academicians and international Honorary Royal Academicians.

The catalogue reproduces all contributions from the 120 Academicians included in the exhibition - paintings, works of paper, photographs, sculpture, architectural models - to reveal the quality and diversity of the current Membership. Each piece is accompanied by a portrait of the artist together with an entry written by a team of young graduates, which provides the reader with an overview of the artist's career and an understanding of the significance of the work illustrated.
