Scottish artist Martin Boyce, 44, whose work harks back to the innovators of 20th century Modernism has won this year’s Turner Prize — Britain’s best-known and most provocative art award. Boyce was nominated for his solo exhibition in Zurich, which included a stark installation compared to an indoor park complete with paper leaves. The jury praised Boyce for his contribution to contemporary artists’ interest in historic modernism, and said he developed and found new directions using his knowledge of the field.
