The Turner Prize has played a vital role over the last 20 years in bringing British contemporary art to the attention of a wider audience. This book offers an opportunity to survey all the artists who have been shortlisted for the prize, from Howard Hodgkin and Richard Long to Damien Hirst and Chris Ofili. Their works are illustrated alongside a brief summary of their careers. A history of the prize, along with an essay assessing its impact, make this book an invaluable resource on contemporary art.
