For These Artists, Why A Second Go At The Turner?

“Artists need a very strong incentive to go through the Turner Prize mill of media attention a second time. They would need to think that they not only could, but would win. Otherwise, why bother? At this stage in their careers neither Mike Nelson (a nominee in 2001) nor Mark Wallinger (previously nominated in 1995) really need the Turner Prize in the way they once did. They certainly don’t need the exposure.”
