Turner Prize and Turner & The Masters at The Tate
I ventured to Tate Britain to check out the Turner Prize short list. The ideas behind the work were strong and the execution, in most cases, was beautiful. I’ll put my money on Lucy Skaer to win the prize. Her whale skull had a sculptural mystery to it and I really liked her wall drawings and prints. I also took in the newly opened show: Turner and the Masters. Turner had a really competitive streak and it’s fascinating seeing the way he took on, and bettered, in many cases, the Old Masters. His ability to conjure atmosphere is so impressive. But I’d love to know what he’d make of the artists who are vying for the prize which bears his name!
