Wallinger Among Four On Turner Shortlist

“Mark Wallinger, whose anti-war protest installation is on show at Tate Britain, was selected for the shortlist of four artists announced today for the Turner Prize. Mike Nelson, Zarina Bhimji and Nathan Coley are also on the 2007 list for the award, given to the best British artist under 50 years old for an exhibition in the previous year, said the organizers. Wallinger, one of the major figures of Britart in the 1990s, is the most celebrated and senior of those on the shortlist.”
