  K Foundation art award - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1994 K Foundation award was an award given by the K Foundation to the worst artist of the year.
Rachel Whiteread was contacted by the K Foundation and informed that she had won the £40000 prize.
The K Foundation's publicist, Mick Houghton, revealed that the voting for the K Foundation's award was supposed to produce a tie, to illustrate the hypocrisy of the Turner award committee, but that strangely the result had been a huge margin of victory for Whiteread.

 K Foundation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The K Foundation destroyed the copy of the film—they felt that the public had to have faith that the burning had taken place.

 K Foundation Burn a Million Quid - Chris Brook, ed.
One thing their K Foundation did with these riches was sponsor an Anti-Turner Prize for worst British artist, awarding it to Rachel Whiteread (who also won the actual Turner Prize in the same year) and giving her £ 40,000 for the honour.
The K Foundation's act, however, does serve as a reminder of what an unusual thing money is, and what an odd role we allow it to play in our lives.
By simply withdrawing it permanently from circulation the K Foundation calls many of our basic assumptions into question -- a point that can be (and often is) made in theoretical fashion, but does take on a very different feel when someone actually puts it into practise.
