LONDON— Irish sculptor Eva Rothschild is the third artist to be awarded Tate Britain’s prestigious Duveens Commission, following Mark Wallinger and Martin Creed, the Evening Standard reports.

The 36-year-old artist will install her work this June in the museum’s Duveen Galleries, but she has revealed little about the Sotheby’s-sponsored commission, other than that it would span the entire 230-foot length of the exhibition space.

"I'm hoping to create something that will agitate the architecture of the Duveens Galleries, tangling with your perception of the space," she said.
