Modern Art Series: Mark Wallinger - Sally O'Reilly
Modern Art Series
KORTE INHOUD
The consistently original painter, sculptor and video artist Mark wallinger has created some of the most subtly intelligent and irreverent work from the UK in the last twenty-five years. Studying in London at the Chelsea School of Art (1978-81) and goldsmiths College (1983-5), his early work questioned the traditions and values of British society and its class system, best represented by his employment of images of racehorses. Painted in a photo-realist style, these works explored issues of ownership, inheritance and pedigree, with suggestive titles such as Race, Class, Sex (1993). His 1995 Turner Prize nomination was largely thanks to his piece A Real Work Of Art , an actual racehorse which the wallinger had bought and named 'A Real work Of Art' with a view to entering it in races, causing his artistic concept to be piped into bookmakers up and down the country.
