Spike Lee was awarded the Wexner Prize, which is an award that goes to artists who are “consistently original, influential and challenging to convention.”
That’s a description of Spike Lee if I ever heard one!
“Spike Lee exemplifies what the Wexner Prize was created to celebrate: a bold creative spirit who is unafraid to provoke and challenge us. He tests the American mind, and its attitudes, assumptions and values, and in doing so, he has advanced American cinema in remarkable ways,” Les Wexner said in a statement.
Lee is the 13th artist to receive the award since it’s inception in 1992.
