Lucy Skaer has donated this, number 15 of 100, signed Banknote Print as featured in 2009’s Turner Prize.
Lucy Skaer is an artist based in Glasgow and London. Trained in Environmental Art at Glasgow School of Art, Skaer was one of six artists chosen to represent Scotland in the 2007 Venice Biennale, and was nominated for the Turner Prize 2009 for the sculptures Black Alphabet and Leviathan Edge, in which the donated “Banknote” featured.
Skaer makes drawings, sculptures and films which often take found photographic sources as their starting point. Rooted in reality, yet subjected to a process of elaborate transformation, Skaer’s images hover in the space between recognition and ambiguity, figuration and abstraction.
