Gavin Turk
British artist Gavin Turk (born 1967) has been at the forefront of contemporary sculpture since the late 1980's, with his painted bronzes, waxworks, recycling of art-historical icons and imaginative use of trash. Throughout his career, Turk's sculptures have dealt with issues of authorship, authenticity and identity working to demystify or parody the myth of the artist. This volume spans the duration of the artist's career to date, featuring his most important pieces from his seminal blue-plaque work, 'Cave'; through his many signature-based artworks, egg sculptures and waxworks; to his more recent bronze casts of sleeping bags and dustbin bags.
This Is Not a Book about Gavin Turk
"If this is not a book about 'the artist', then it is also not a book about our perception of the artist. Instead the concerns, preoccupations, observations and forms that catch the artist's thoughts and eyes are unpacked, transposed, explored and investigated by a jamboree of perspectives"--Preface.

GT
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.
Gavin Turk. Letting Go
British artist Gavin Turk?s fascination with waste is a reoccurring theme throughout his body of work, exploring its aesthetic, function and value. Opening in October at Reflex Amsterdam, his new solo show features watercolours, painted bronze sculptures, and large silkscreen prints, which investigate the environmental consequences of human existence and consumer society. 00?Climate is increasingly becoming a vital subject for artists as they hold their mirrors up to society,? says Turk who was arrested in 2018 for obstructing a public highway as part of the Extinction Rebellion climate change protest in London which saw thousands of people occupy five central London bridges. ?Being arrested was like laying down a marker, and enabled unity with movements such as Extinction Rebellion - to wake up politicians to the undeniable evidence that humans are responsible for a dramatic change in the world?s ecosystem - and together to do something about it.? 00Exhibition: Reflex Art Gallery, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (19.10. - 24.12.2019).
