hydeordie nails it:

Congratulations to Richard Wright, the 2009 Turner Prize winner!

I don’t want to brag, but did I call it or what?

Now, if you are in London, you owe it to yourself (and to me, remember I did you that favor one time?) to go check this out at the Tate, it’s up until January 3, 2010*.  Also, while you are there, check out John Baldessari’s show which is up for a little bit longer at the Tate Modern until about mid-January.

People are shocked by the decision, but as I said before, there would inevitably be a backlash to the grandiose and shocking installations to something that is truly beautiful to look at.  We also know that Larry has his back, so that never hurts.

*Whoa. 2010.  Freaks me out.
