2007 Turner Prize

The 2007 Turner Prize for modern British art was awarded on 3 December 2007. It was the 22nd Turner Prize competition.[1] There were four nominees for the 2007 prize and the winner was Mark Wallinger.

The nominees in alphabetical order were:

Turner Prize exhibition 2007

The exhibition took place in Liverpool in advance of its time as European Capital of Culture.[1] It opened on 19 October 2007 and closed 13 January 2008.[3]

The Turner Prize is awarded for a show by the artist in the previous year.[4] When nominees are told of their nomination they then prepare exhibits for the Turner Prize exhibition, often at short notice.[4] As such, the Turner Prize exhibition may not feature the works for which the artist was initially nominated by the judges.[4] However the Turner Prize exhibition tends to be the basis on which public and press judge the artist's worthiness for nomination.[4]
