| Summary: | Describes the evolution of the prize and presents a fully illustrated survey of all the participating artists from 1984-2005. "Since 1984 the Turner Prize has been instrumental in bringing British contemporary art to the attention of a greatly increased audience. No other prize has provoked so much controversy or succeeded in stimulating so much critical debate." "In this updated edition of The Turner Prize, Virginia Button, curator of the exhibition from 1993 to 1998, describes the evolution of the prize and presents a fully illustrated survey of all the participating artists, up to and including the 2005 shortlist. Art critic Claire Bishop also reflects on the culture of prize-giving at a time when methods of art-making vary so widely." "This guide provides an invaluable resource for all those seeking a better understanding of the recent history and current vitality of British contemporary art."--BOOK JACKET. |
