Issue 16
It’s Autumn, the art-world is in full swing, and TateShots is back to take you on a journey of artistic discovery. We start at Tate Britain, home of the Turner Prize, with two films about the world’s most prestigious contemporary art award. Then it’s over to Tate Modern for a curator’s tour of the stunning new Rothko show. Going beyond Tate’s galleries we profile the work of contemporary artists who are pushing the boundaries: Michael Landy, who uses simple drawing techniques to explore what it is to make a portrait, and Roger Hiorns who has transformed an ordinary flat into an incredible crystallised labyrinth. Back at Tate Britain, renowned designer Peter Saville looks at the work of influential British Pop artist Richard Hamilton. We hope you enjoy the trip – please send feedback to tateshots@tate.org.uk.
