In 1991 for his graduation show from the Royal College of Art, Gavin Turk exhibited a blue imitation Heritage plaque. Hung in an otherwise empty room, it commemorated the work done by the artist as a sculptor during his time at the college. The Final Examination Board deemed the work insufficient and refused to award Turk an MA certificate. Ironically, 'Cave', has gone on to become one of the artist's most iconic pieces.

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.
