Turner Prize - A restrospective

It’s a little bit like that crazy auntie of yours who comes round every Christmas, wearing stripy stockings and shouting over the Queen’s speech: perennially controversial and a touch abrasive, but nothing less than an institution. The Turner Prize, the one event in the art world guaranteed to get everyone talking, is looking back at its 23-year history this month, with an exhibition of the best (and worst) entries since the competition began.

So, you can take another look at Damien Hirst’s famous ‘Mother and Child, Divided’ (or, more prosaically, the one with the cow in formaldehyde). Likewise, Tracey Emin’s ‘My Bed’ is on show, a work that will undoubtedly provoke thoughts either on a) our own private insecurities and imperfections, or b) the fact that, compared to this one, our own bedrooms really are quite tidy.
