The ten recipients were named at a ceremony at the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel in London on 14 November.

‘We hope this year’s Awards continue to offer artists crucial time, space and resource to explore their practice,’ said Jane Hamlyn, Chair, Paul Hamlyn Foundation and Chair, Visual Arts judging panel.

Paul Hamlyn, who built his fortune publishing books, established the Paul Hamlyn Foundation in 1987. Born in Berlin in 1926, he was first named Paul Bertrand Wolfgang Hamburger. When Hitler rose to power, he and his family, who were Jewish, fled to London. Hamlyn chose his new surname from the phone book at age 14 following his father’s death in 1940. —[O]
