The winner of the Turner Prize will be announced on December 7, 2022. The annual Turner Prize aims to promote and encourage debate about contemporary British art.
It was established in 1984, named after legendary painter JMW Turner. This year, it returned to Liverpool for the first time since 2007.
Tate Liverpool was the first gallery outside London to host the prize all those years ago, returning in April with what Helen Legg, director of Tate Liverpool and co-chair of the Turner Prize jury, described as "what feels like a delayed Turner Prize but also a celebration". Like many events and experiences, the prize felt the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
Helen Legg commented: "I'm excited that these four outstanding artists will be showing their work in Liverpool for this year's Turner Prize in what should be a mesmerising and dynamic exhibition. The jury has travelled the length and breadth of the country, taking advantage of the easing of lockdown to enjoy the explosion of creativity that has emerged from the pandemic.
"The result is a diverse group of artists, each with a singular vision, who impressed the judges with the intensity of their presentations, while also dealing with the important issues facing our society today."
