British sculptor Grenville Davey, 1992 Turner Prize winner, dies at 61

British sculptor Grenville Davey, who claimed the Turner Prize in 1992, has passed away. A 1986 graduate of Goldsmiths College in London, he was part of the Young British Artists movement. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Davey approached Pop art and minimalism with a more understated style. His notable sculptures often showcased oversized everyday items crafted from steel, with simplified details and monochromatic colors. His unexpected Turner Prize win came at the expense of favorite Damien Hirst. Significant works include By Air (1989), Sharp (1992), and Common Blue (1998–2019). Davey preferred to 'draw' with steel, discovering forms during creation. He also completed various public art projects, including at the Olympic Park in Stratford, East London.
