Wangechi Mutu will get a solo exhibit at the Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin as her prize(click through to see a sample of her work):
Mutu is known for exploring society’s stereotypes of female beauty and exoticism by creating writhing portraits of women whose eyes and lips have often been cut from fashion magazines. She was chosen for the award by curators including Okwui Enwezor, Nancy Spector and Hou Hanru, according to Friedhelm Hütte, the bank’s global head of art.
