Beschreibung:
Gavin Turk (b 1967) is a British born, international artist. He has pioneered many forms of contemporary British sculpture now taken for granted, including the painted bronze, the waxwork, the recycled art-historical icon and the use of rubbish in art. 0Turk?s installations and sculptures deal with issues of authorship, authenticity and identity. Concerned with the ?myth? of the artist and the 'authorship' of a work, Turk?s engagement with this modernist, avant-garde debate stretches back to the ready-mades of Marcel Duchamp
