A witty meditation on the nature of film in popular culture taking in Felix the Cat, Homer Simpson, Titanic the movie and Philip Guston, tonight helped Mark Leckey win what is still acknowledged as the country's most important contemporary art prize. The forty-three-year-old, London-based artist rifles at will through popular culture to create his own works. Leckey was presented with the prize and its attendant $37,000 check by Nick Cave at a ceremony at Tate Britain in London.
