Books: BESTSELLERS

If painting is undergoing another renaissance (or, to use the Saatchi word, a "triumph") it isn't instantly apparent from the art bestseller lists. Instead, what's really cool is graffiti: "street art" from five continents (at number one) and Banksy's subversive daubs which suddenly appear on brick walls around the country. Strange coffee-table fare, you might think. Elsewhere, it's the stalwarts: Phaidon's eternally attractive (and cheap) pictorial surveys of art from the 20th-century and the beginning of time and a little guidebook for the vast swathe of the population that dreams of discovering that dad's old wood box is, in fact, a medieval chest. Even that might not be enough to buy a Vettriano (above).
