Photographer and visual artist Carrie Mae Weems is among the winners of the 2013 MacArthur Fellowships, the so-called "genius grant" that now awards recipients $625,000 free of conditions.
An art-insider friend who shall remain nameless comments, "Not exactly a [surprise] winner. She [that is, her name, as a contender —Ed.] has been in very heavy circulation for a long time."
Congratulations Carrie Mae!
