Turnip Prize goes to Banksy tribute
As a collective of 16 young artists, architects and designers wins the £25,000 Turner Prize for the work Granby Four Streets, a more low key ceremony has taken place at a Somerset pub.
The New Inn in Wedmore comes up with its mock Turnip Prize every year, celebrating the work with the least amount of effort. It is very much a dig at the prestigious event and the prize is a mere turnip mounted on a nail.
This year's winner of the 'coveted' turnip, is 53-year-old "Bonksy" for his work entitled “Dismal And” - a doodled ampersand looking, well dismal.
The artwork is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to Bristol artist Banksy and his hugely popular "Dismaland" exhibition in Weston-super-Mare.
