Turner Prize 2015

Through 22 November, Tramway

The Turner Prize is the biggest award in British art, with £25,000 going to the winner and £5,000 to the nominees, and the most controversial. Its championship of conceptual rigour over traditionalism has tended to whip the tabloids into a froth, but a list of Turner nominees contains many of the most memorable names from the last thirty years of British art: Howard Hodgkin, Gilbert & George, Tony Cragg, Rachel Whiteread, Anish Kapoor, Antony Gormley, Damien Hirst, Douglas Gordon, Gillian Wearing, Martin Creed, Susan Philipsz, Steve McQueen, Grayson Perry and Jeremy Deller – and those are just some of the winners.
