Tasmanian author Heather Rose has won the $50,000 Stella Prize for her novel The Museum of Modern Love.
The award, which was established in 2013, celebrates Australian women’s writing.
The winning novel takes its inspiration from the 2010 artwork The Artist Is Present by Serbian performance artist Marina Abramović.
To complete the gruelling work, Abramović sat motionless at a table in the atrium of the Museum of Modern Art in New York for 75 days.
During opening hours, museum attendees were invited to sit opposite the artist silently and maintain her gaze.
