People looking for the best picture framers West London has to offer for their collection, will want to get down to the latest Turner Prize exhibition, when it eventually arrives at Tate Britain in Pimlico.

The shortlist for the award features older artists this year, as the controversial contemporary art award has raised its upper age limit.

Artists who may not have been considered before but are now shortlisted include Lubaina Himid, Rosalind Nashashibi, Hurvin Anderson and Andrea Büttner. The youngest person on the list is 43 year old  Croydon-born Rosalind Nashashibi, who produced films according to the Guardian. The oldest is Lubaina Himid, 62.

Previously the age limit was 50, and had been since 1991, but this has been scrapped, giving more mature artists the chance to win the prize.

This year’s shortlist has been noted for its sombre tone, with two painters taking part in what has traditionally seen mostly installation art works.  The Turner Prize’s mission statement is to “promote public debate around new developments in contemporary British art”, and is the focus of much debate each year.

The winner of the £25,000 prize will be announced in December, and will join the ranks of other famous British modern artists such as Rachel Whiteread and Damien Hirst.

This year the exhibition is due to be shown in Hull, as part of the city’s European City of Culture celebrations this year. Other UK cities to be honoured with the title include Liverpool, which also has a branch of the Tate.
