The John Moores Painting Prize is one of the United Kingdom’s best-known painting competitions, going back to the 1950s. Previous winners have included David Hockney, Peter Doig, and Lisa Milroy. This 2012 catalog highlights the best of the UK’s painters for the year, featuring all the exhibition works of 2012 in fifty full-color plates, with a detail of the winning artwork, Stevie Smith and the Willow, by Sarah Pickstone, on the cover. It includes biographies of the artists, essays by the jurors—including BBC creative director Alan Yentob, Whitechapel Gallery director Iwona Blazwick, and artists Fiona Banner, Angela de la Cruz, and George Shaw—and images of works by all the previous John Moores main prizewinners. It also features the five winners of the 2012 John Moores Painting Prize in China.
