Sculptor Martin Boyce, whose works include artificial trees and a leaning litter bin, has won the Turner Prize.

Glasgow-based Boyce accepted the modern art award at the Baltic gallery in Gateshead - the first time the ceremony has been held outside a Tate venue.

Boyce is known for re-imagining items normally found in parks and public spaces and using them in atmospheric, modernist-inspired landscapes.

Photographer Mario Testino presented Boyce with the £25,000 cheque.
