Gavin Turk

A Manifesto

43.5 x 63.6cm

Gavin Turk is a British artist associated with the YBA’s (Young British Artists) and known for his ironic approach towards issues of authorship in art. Often employing everyday objects or manufactured items, his works deal with issues of identity, especially those pertaining to an artist’s name and signature. Turk’s sense of fun has never been far from the pathos of the work as he rebels and engages in turn.
