Title: Inanimate Animal
Artist: Gavin Turk

Gavin Turk is one of the UK’s leading modern artists having exhibited extensively, including the Royal Academy’s “Sensation” exhibition.

“This cow relates to a published conversation I had with artist Don Brown where we were talking about the way that inanimate objects could take on lifelike qualities simply through the introduction of realistic eyes. The piece references waxwork sculptures where you try and make contact with the eyes.”

This cow was one of the 60 most spectacular cows of CowParade London 2002. It was sold at a gala auction to benefit ChildLine on 10 October 2002 at Sotheby's Olympia.
