Show Notes

A red Ford Escort Cabriolet XR3i draped topped with a giant doily is among art works nominated for this year’s Turner Prize - as Britain’s prestigious contemporary creative competition marks its 40th anniversary.

Four shortlisted artists to win the £25,000 prize include three Londoners whose work ranges from traditional drawing to more eccentric installations.
