전기:

Gavin Turk is a British artist born in Guildford, United Kingdom in 1967. He is considered one of the Young British Artists and is known for his oeuvre that deals with issues of authenticity and identity, engaging with modernist and avant-garde debates surrounding the 'myth' of the artist and the 'authorship' of a work of art. Turk lives and works in London and has pioneered many forms of contemporary British sculpture, including the painted bronze, the waxwork, the recycled art-historical icon, and the use of rubbish in art.
