Art Prize for Women

Arty Crumpet of the Week is Andrea Büttner. It must be very difficult not to look smug when you've just won the Max Mara Art Prize for Women, and here we see Andrea Büttner failing prettily. She was awarded top prize at the Whitechapel Gallery in London last Tuesday. This will allow her to take a six months residency in Italy to cobble together her award-winning plan. The Max Mara Fashion Group awards this prize to female artists resident in the UK. Andrea has studios in East London and in Frankfurt.
