Ceryth Wyn Evans, who taught at the AA between 1989 - 1995, has won the £30,000 Hepworth Prize for Sculpture for his giant instrument made of 37 crystal pipes. The pipes, arranged in two overlapping, hanging arcs, emit what the Guardian described as a “low and mournful hum”. The other shortlisted artists this year are Michael Dean, Mona Hatoum, Phillip Lai and Magali Reus.

The Hepworth Prize for Sculpture recognises a British or UK-based artist of any age, at any stage of their career, who has made a significant contribution to the development of contemporary sculpture. It is named after Barbara Hepworth, a sculptural pioneer in her own time, who benefited from prizes throughout her life.

An exhibition of work by the shortlisted artists is on at The Hepworth Wakefield gallery in West Yorkshire until 20 January. Find out more on the Hepworth Wakefield gallery website
