The Turner Prize
What is it?
The Turner Prize is Britain’s most important prize for contemporary art. It is organised by the Tate Gallery, and the winner is awarded 25000.
Why is it called the Turner Prize?
It was named after the famous landscape painter J. M. W. Turner (1775-1851). However, Turner would have been surprised if he had seen some of the winners — his art was much more traditional!
When will the next winner be announced?
The Prize is awarded every year. The next winner will be announced in December.
IS IT ART?
See for yourself! Take a look at the controversial work of three previous Turner Prize winners …
The Lights Going On and Off
Martin Creed’s installation was an empty room, with the light going on and off automatically. It was criticised in the media and caused a big debate among the general public. An artist called Jacqueline Crofton even threw eggs at the gallery walls in protest!
Shedboatshed
Simon Starling found a wooden shed next to a river. He dismantled it and transformed it into a boat, which he used to travel down the river. When he reached an art gallery, he transformed the boat into a shed again. Several British newspapers laughed at Starling’s work, but he was awarded the Turner Prize in 2005.
Mother and Child Divided
Damien Hirst is famous for his series of animal installations. In this one. he cut a real cow and calf in half and exhibited them in separate glass tanks. He also exhibited a dead sheep in a tank. One day, a 35-year-old man poured black ink into the tank and called it ‘Black Sheep’. Then, he was arrested.
