“One of the arts world’s most talked-about awards, the Turner Prize will be hosted by Londonderry in 2013. Now in its 29th year, the annual award, presented to a contemporary artist under the age of 50 with an outstanding exhibition of work, has come a long way since its early controversies. It will be the third time the prize has been held outside Tate Britain in London since its inception in 1984, having been held in Liverpool in 2007 and The Baltic, Gateshead in 2011.” (Sunday Telegraph, 30 December 2012)
