One of the infamous Young British Artists of the 90s, Turk's pioneering sculpture brought a new vernacular to the art world. Utilising motifs such as the painted bronze, the waxwork, the recycled art-historical icon and the use of rubbish as a material, Turk’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.
