• Kaur was honoured for her exhibition titled Alter Altar, featuring sculptures and soundscapes that reflect her background growing up in an Indian Sikh family in Glasgow.
• The artist incorporates everyday objects in her work. Her winning exhibition included a red Ford Escort covered in a huge white lace doily, an acrylic "sky" hung with ordinary items, a large rug, and a soundtrack featuring worship bells, Sufi Islamic devotional music, Indian harmonium and pop music tracks.

About Turner Prize

The Turner Prize, named after the English painter J. M. W. Turner, is an annual prize presented to a British visual artist. Between 1991 and 2016, only artists under the age of 50 were eligible (this restriction was removed for the 2017 award).

The prize is awarded at Tate Britain every other year, with various venues outside of London being used in alternate years. Since its beginnings in 1984 it has become the UK's most publicised art award. The award represents all media.
