===1993=== [[Rachel Whiteread]] was the winner for ''[[House (sculpture)|House]]'', a concrete cast of the inside of a house on Grove Road, near Roman Road, London E3. [[Jimmy Cauty]] and [[Bill Drummond]] of the [[K Foundation]] received media coverage for the award of the "[[K Foundation art award|Anti-Turner Prize]]", Β£40,000 to be given to the "worst artist in Britain", voted from the real Turner Prize's short-list. Rachel Whiteread was awarded their prize. She refused to accept the money at first, but changed her mind when she heard the cash was to be burned instead, and gave Β£30,000 of it to artists in financial need and the other Β£10,000 to the housing charity, [[Shelter (charity)|Shelter]]. The K Foundation went on to make a film in which they burned Β£1 million of their own money (''[[Watch the K Foundation Burn a Million Quid]]''). Other nominees included painter [[Sean Scully]], Laotian-born [[Vong Phaophanit]] and printer [[Hannah Collins]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Turner Prize 1993 β Exhibition at Tate Britain |url=https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/exhibition/turner-prize-1993 |website=Tate}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Turner Prize won by 'worst' artist |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/turner-prize-won-by-worst-artist-1506249.html |website=The Independent |language=en |date=24 November 1993}}</ref>
