The artist Gavin Turk discusses the work of his 'neglected hero', the British pop artist Colin Self, as the first retrospective of Self's work opens in Chichester. Self hasn't had as much exposure as more prominent fellow members of the pop art movement Peter Blake and Richard Hamilton, but Turk argues he's just as interesting and has been hugely influential on Turk's own work.
