EDITOR’S LETTER
Welcome to The Wick
Hi All,
It’s a week of awards with the Taylor Wessing Prize now on show at NPG, a new impressive roster of ambassadors and UAL plus the East London-centric Bow Prize. Paul Hamlyn Foundation named its 10 recipients of Awards for Artists 2024 – the largest individual awards given to visual artists and composers in the UK amounting to £750,000.
Meanwhile, the Booker Prize Winner is Samantha Harvey for Orbital, which judges praised for its ‘crystalline’ style that makes the world feel strange and new. And feeling new is a skill in our over-stimulating world when we often race to know it all, yet art has that power to tilt experience in a new direction and open eyes once more.
With best wishes from me and the KTW Family,
Katy
