Tacita Dean
Tacita Dean's work is currently the subject of an exhibition at the Guggenheim to mark her winning the Hugo Boss Prize. She will have a solo exhibition at Dublin's Hugh Lane Gallery from March to June 2007. The Tate Modern has recently devoted a room to a display of her work held in its collection and she is also included in this year's Sao Paulo Biennale which continues until December 2006. Dean's work has been included in many group exhibitions both in Britain and abroad. The largest exhibition of Dean's work to date was shown at Schaulager, Basel May - September of 2006. A major monograph on her work was been published by Phaidon Press in late 2006. Tacita Dean was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1998.
