==Background==

The prize was named after Turner, because, though he is now considered one of the country's greatest artists, when he was active, his work was controversial.<ref name=origin>{{cite web |url= http://www.tramway.org/blog/Pages/A-brief-history-of-the-Turner-Prize.aspx|title=A brief history of the Turner Prize |date=6 July 2015 |publisher=tramway.org |access-date=6 July 2016}}</ref> While he is now looked at as a traditionalist, his new approach to landscape painting changed the course of art history, as many of the Turner Prize winners aspire to do.<ref name=origin/>

Each year after the announcement of the four nominees and during the build-up to the announcement of the winner, the Prize receives intense attention from the media. Much of this attention is critical and the question is often asked, "Is this art?"<ref name=art1>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/547310.stm "Head to Head: Turner Prize — Is It Art?"] BBC, 2 December 1999.

The appointment of Tate Director, Nicholas Serota, led to many changes such as the introduction of an annual rehang of the Collection and giving priority to modern and contemporary art. During this period the future of the Prize was uncertain. The Turner Prize was modified to be an artist-only prize without a published shortlist and a solo exhibition was awarded to the winner, Tony Cragg.<ref>{{cite web |title=Turner Prize 1988 – Exhibition at Tate Britain |url=https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/exhibition/turner-prize-1988 |website=Tate}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Hilton |first1=Tim |last2=Kennedy |first2=Maev |title=News: 1998 Turner prize goes to sculptor Tony Cragg |url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/1988/nov/23/20yearsoftheturnerprize.turnerprize |website=The Guardian |date=23 November 1988}}</ref>
