Gavin Turk

A key player in the YBA movement, Turk is known for his large-scale public sculptures, including a gigantic green door in the Olympic Park and a 12-metre nail in the City of London. Smaller pieces often focus on themes of identity and reference characters from popular culture – one of his most famous screen prints is a rendition of Warhol’s portrait of Elvis, speckled with diamond dust.

Did you know?

In an art world yin and yang, Turk’s degree show installation (a plain, white studio entitled ‘Cave’, with a blue plaque featuring his name and work dates) lost him his graduation from the Royal Academy of Arts – but won him the patronage of Charles Saatchi.
