The Hepworth Prize for Sculpture

26 Oct 2018 - 20 Jan 2019

The Hepworth Prize for Sculpture recognises a British or UK-based artist of any age, at any stage of their career, who has made a significant contribution to the development of contemporary sculpture. It is named after Barbara Hepworth, a sculptural pioneer in her own time, who benefited from prizes throughout her life.

The second Hepworth Prize for Sculpture was awarded to Cerith Wyn Evans at an award dinner at The Hepworth Wakefield on Thursday 15 November.

The shortlisted artists for the second iteration of the prize were Michael Dean, Mona Hatoum, Phillip Lai and Magali Reus. Each of theses artists demonstrates a singular voice that pushes the potential of the sculptural object in new directions.

This selection – and winner – was made by a panel including Sarah Brown, Principal Keeper, Leeds Art Gallery; Martin Clark, Director, Camden Arts Centre; Margot Heller OBE, Director, South London Gallery; and Helen Legg, Director, Tate Liverpool.
