Artist wins for work including UK’s first permanent public artwork honouring Windrush generation
Veronica Ryan, an artist who created the UK’s first permanent artwork to honour the Windrush generation, has won the 2022 Turner prize, one of the world’s most prestigious awards for visual arts.
Ryan, 66, becomes the oldest artist to win the prize. She was nominated for the Windrush sculpture, which was unveiled in Hackney, London, last year, as well as for her solo exhibition Along a Spectrum at Spike Island, Bristol.
