The selections for this year’s Turner Prize is surprising not only because the nominees include, after a long time, two painters, but also because only one of the four finalists was born in Britain. The committee’s chair and Tate director, Sir Nichalas Serot, claims that the selections represent the contemporary scene in all its variety and naturally include artists that only work in Britain. This is the case with German photographer Wolfgang Tillmans whose pictures are known from both gallery installations and the pages of fashion magazines. The Danish graduate of Goldsmith’s College, Michael Raedecker, places his fragile paintings in familiar countryside landscapes. In addition to her chaotic installations, the neurotic realist Tomoko Takahashi has recently concerned herself with the parodic computer project WordPerhect. Glenn Brown’s paintings, the only British representative in the lot, draw from the works of old masters. The exhibition of the finalists will open on October 25 at Tate Britain.

In seiner Kindheit litt er unter harten sozialen…
