The shortlisted Turner Prize artists for 2010 are Dexter Dalwood, Angela de la Cruz, Susan Philipsz and the Otolith Group.
New for 2010
Established in 1984, the Turner Prize exists to highlight developments in contemporary art and raise the profile of new and upcoming artists in the UK. The total prize fund is £40,000 this year, with £25,000 going to the overall winner and £5,000 each going to the three runners up.
A history of controversy with the Turner Prize
Past Turner Prize winners include Damien Hirst with Mother and Child Divided, Tracey Emin with My Bed and Chris Ofili with The Virgin Mary. Many of these artists have attracted controversy over subject matter, artistic merit and materials used, which include a soiled bed, elephant dung, and a halved cow in formaldehyde.
