Gavin Turk

Gavin Turk makes prints and objects that play with identity and legacy. In “In Memory of Gavin Turk” (2003), he reprints a museum-style plaque of his own name, and in “Il Meglio del Meglio all ‘Infinito” (2002) he layers bright graphic patterns over Italian words. His work sits in the British conceptual tradition that turns everyday signs into questions about authorship. Want to see how Turk turns a signature into art? Tap “In Memory of Gavin Turk.”
