"The Best Of Artists, The Worst of Artists"

"In a single day last week, 30-year-old Rachel Whiteread won two prizes, 
one for being the best British artist, and one for being the worst.
...Early Tuesday evening, in a ceremony televised live from the Tate 
Gallery, it was announced that Ms. Whiteread had won the 1993 Turner 
Prize, an increasingly prestigious award given annually to a British 
artist for the best exhabition or presentation of work in the preceding 
year, along with $30,000.  A few hours later, outside the Tate, in front 
of television crews and photographers, Ms. Whiteread accepted, by 
prearangment, the K. Foundation Award for Britain's worst artist.  The 
prize came with $60,000 cash, double the Turner amount, naile in clumps 
of &50 notes to a board with an ornate picture frame.
	The second prize award, sort on anti-Turner Prize, was widely 
viewed as a publicity stunt.  It was initiated by the K. Foundation on 
behalf of the K.L.F., or the Kashmir Liberation Front, a disbanded 
British rock band [SIC!!!] known for its irreverant antics, which 
advertisted in newspapers announcing its creation last summer and 
repeated them last month after the Tate announced the names of the four 
artists on the short list for the Turner Prize.  It was not clear if Ms. 
Whiteread had actually won the write-in-vote that the foundation 
advertisted or if she had been chosen because her already high profile 
would generate te most publicity for the group.
	The artist, who learned on Tuesday morning that she had won the 
K. Foundation Award, did not want to accept it at first but changed her 
mind when she was told the money would be burned is she did not collect 
it in person.  That afternoon, she issued a statement through the 
Karsten Schubert Gallery, which represents her, announcing that she would 
not keep any of the money from the K. Foundation, but would give $15,000 
toShelter, an organization for homeless people, and the rest to young 
artists in the form of 10 grants of $4,500  each."
