THE TURNER MEDAL & LECTURE
About every two years the Colour Group invites a distinguished artist or art historian, to give The Turner Lecture, honouring Britain's greatest colourist. A sterling silver medal is awarded to mark the occasion, and the recipient presents a keynote lecture related to his or her work.
