Why Didn't Dexter Win?

Click on title above for interview with painter Dexter Dalwood. The last painter to win the Turner Prize was Tomma Abts in 2006. Look at both of these painters in the context of the other artists who were shortlisted alongside them. Is there a reason that one should win one year, and the other not? Look for the other painters that have been shortlisted in previous years. Peter Doig is a big name just now in Painting- he was shortlisted in 1994 and didn't win, but it didn't do him any harm in the long run. How effective does each painters' work look in the context of the other artists shortlisted each year? Try working it out.....
