LONDON—A model train and bare buttocks are among artworks nominated for the prestigious Turner Prize. Work by four shortlisted artists went on display Monday at London’s Tate Britain gallery. The show includes Michael Dean’s scrap-metal sculptures, Helen Marten’s collage-based works, Josephine Pryde’s model of a graffiti-covered train and Anthea Hamilton’s surrealist sculptures, including a 10-metre (33-foot) tall model of a man’s naked posterior. Founded in 1984 and given annually to a Britain-based artist under 50, the prize often sparks heated debate about the value of modern art. British, international, and modern art is exhibit at four Tate galleries in the U.K. — two in London and one each in Cornwall and Liverpool.
