- Description: I have trouble getting excited by the Turner Prize anymore. British art isn't as central to the art dialogue as it once was a decade ago so it is feeling more and more like a regional contest. Congrats to Martin Boyce anyway.

I have trouble getting excited by the Turner Prize anymore. British art isn’t as central to the art dialogue as it once was a decade ago so it is feeling more and more like a regional contest. But having said that … Congrats to Martin Boyce. He is a talented artist.
