A big hand (or five, in fact) for Simon
Behind the scenes
We were delighted to hear that Simon Denny has won the 14th Baloise Art Prize at Art 43 Basel.
Simon, whose presciently-shaped work Of course it was was a gift to the Gallery in 2008, will receive a cash prize, and his Basel work will be acquired and donated to a European museum. He will also be invited to present a solo exhibition at MUMOK, Museum Moderner Kunst Siftung Ludwig, Vienna in 2013. Nice one.
