This text forms part of Tate Publishing's Modern Artists monographs. It looks at Douglas Gordon, an artist who first came to prominence in the 1990s, winning the Turner Prize in 1996. He soon earned a reputation for making art from pre-existing materials, most spectacularly in the case of classic films. Interviews with the artist provide a revealing insight into the physical impact and rigour of his videos, photographic, audio and text-based works over the past decade. Six key works are examined in depth.
