The Turner Prize? Never Heard Of It.
"Despite a shortlist featuring a film about broken crockery, a mannequin sitting on a lavatory, a photo collage and an installation featuring, among other things, Felix the Cat, this year's [Turner Prize,] the winner of which will be announced tomorrow, has raised barely a murmur... The standard of work showcased is so bad that some claim the future of the Turner Prize itself, regarded as one of the world's most prestigious contemporary art awards, is in question."
