New Turner Prize Competition ~ Tate Gallery
Are You Stuckist? Nicholas Serota Wants You!
Sir Nicholas Serota, fresh from launching his bid to stop what he calls the Blitzkrieg of arts budgets, was ambushed by the Stuckists at the unveiling of the Turner Prize.
The Tate director was greeted by banners with the slogan "Support Government Cuts. The Tate wastes money on crap" created by the anti-Turner Prize Stuckists and was presented with a leaflet showing artist Emily Mann in a leather mini-skirt holding a placard saying "Serota needs a good spanking".
Approached afterwards about the leaflet, Serota replied: "You’ve got the wrong guy. I’m nothing to do with the Turner Prize. I’m not chairman of the jury." This cuts little ice with Charles Thomson, founder of the Stuckists. "I presume he meant the chairman of the jury deserved the spanking then," says Thomson. "This was a little ungallant as the chairman is Tate Britain director Penelope Curtis, who was standing next to him at the time."
Meanwhile, Turner Prize judge Philip Hensher was at the press launch of the prize wearing a Stuckist badge saying "The Turner Prize is dead", therefore "is art dead"?

1995 - Hirst’s avant-garde art is back for second-attempt win
In 1995 exhibition attendance figures swelled, in part due to the debate aroused by the inclusion of Damien Hirst’s Mother and Child, Divided a sculpture comprising a bisected cow and calf. The work quickly gained notoriety, provoking impassioned responses from the media and public who berated and celebrated it in equal measure. I fear you have smeared the great name of Turner with this “waste of space”.

Hirst on the Half Cow, May Even Be a Ripp-off of Atom Heart Mother!
Atom Heart Mother is a progressive rock album by Pink Floyd, released in 1970 by Harvest and EMI Records in the United Kingdom and Harvest and Capitol in the United States. It was recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London, England, and reached number in the United Kingdom, and number 55 in the United States charts, and went gold in the U.S. in March 1994. A re-mastered CD was released in 1994 in the UK, and in 1995 in the U.S. The original album cover shows a cow standing in a pasture with no text nor any other clue as to what might be on the record. Some later editions have the title and artist name added to the cover. This concept was the group's reaction to the psychedelic space rock imagery associated with Pink Floyd at the time of the album's release; the band wanted to explore all sorts of music without being limited to a particular image or style of performance. They thus requested that their new album had "something plain" on the cover, which ended up being the image of the cow. Storm Thorgerson, inspired by Andy Warhol's famous "cow-wallpaper," has said that he simply drove out into a rural area near Potters Bar and photographed the first cow he saw. The cow's owner identified her name as "Lulubelle III".
