Turner Prize exhibition, featuring works by all the winning artists since it began in 1984, from Anish Kapoor to Damien Hirst, and Gilbert & George to Grayson Perry.

Since mid 1980s the visual arts scene in Britain has changed beyond recognition and the Turner Prize lies at the heart of contemporary culture in the U.K. This book features a transcribed discussion between Mark Lawson, Grayson Perry (Turner Prize winner 2003), and Lionel Shriver (Orange Prize winner 2005), who consider the effect of the prizes.

This book uses an examination of the annual Turner Prize to defend the view that the evaluation of artworks is a reason-based activity, notwithstanding the lack of any agreed criteria for judging excellence in art. It undertakes an empirical investigation of actual critical practice as evident within published commentaries on the Prize in order to examine and test theories of critical evaluation, including the ideas of Noel Carroll, Frank Sibley, Kendall Walton and Suzanne Langer. Case studies of work by Turner Prize winners such as Steve McQueen, Martin Creed and Tomma Abts are used to explore definitions of art and concepts of artistic value and meaning.

Discussion of the British art scene from the 1980s to 2001. Draws on inteviews with Nicholas Serota, Michael Craig-Martin, Gavin Turk, Mark Wallinger and many others.
