The Turner Prize

The Turner Prize is a prestigious annual award in the UK that recognizes outstanding contemporary visual art. Established in 1984, it highlights innovative artists who push the boundaries of creativity. The prize often generates discussion about the meaning and value of modern art, as the works can include diverse forms such as installations, videos, and performances. It aims to promote public engagement with contemporary artistic practice and to encourage new ideas within the art community. A shortlist of four artists is announced, with a winner chosen through a judging panel.
