Sonia Boyce and Simone Leigh win Golden Lions at the Venice Biennale for work honoring the visions of Black women:
in 2019—there was little consensus going into this year’s awards ceremony.

German artist Katharina Fritsch and Chilean artist Cecilia Vicuña also accepted Golden Lions for lifetime achievement. Fristch’s monumental, surreal sculpture of an elephant opens the Giardini chapter of the central exhibition, while Vicuña is represented by a new installation of objects found around Venice and fantastical paintings from the 1970s.
