Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

This week's art websites takes a look at the websites of some of the artists who have won the UK's controversial contemporary art award, the Turner Prize.

1985 winner Howard Hodgkin - http://www.howardhodgkin.org.uk/
The works of British-born painter Howard Hodgkin are often bright, spontaneous and "semi-abstract" in nature.

2000 winner Wolfgang Tillmans - http://tillmans.co.uk/
German-born artist Wolfgang Tillmans won the award in 2000 for his striking photographs, images that balance between "intention and chance."

2001 winner Martin Creed - http://www.martincreed.com/
Conceptual artist Martin Creed won the 2001 Turner Prize for his work the lights going on and off - what was essentially an empty room in which the lights turned on and off.

2002 winner Keith Tyson - http://www.keithtyson.com/
The work of the 2002 Turner Prize winner revolves around concepts of generative systems and the complexities of existence.

2004 winner Jeremy Deller - http://www.jeremydeller.org/
The works of video artist Jeremy Deller have a strong political focus and are often ephemeral in nature.

2010 winner Susan Philipsz - http://www.tanyabonakdargallery.com/artist.php?art_name=Susan%20Philipsz
In 2010, Susan Philipsz became the first artist to win the Turner Prize with a work of sound (her winning artwork was a sound installation featuring her singing a traditional Scottish song).
