Mamma Andersson has won the 11th Guerlain Drawing Prize, an award given annually by the Daniel and Florence Guerlain Contemporary Art Foundation. Her work was featured in a special exhibition on the occasion of the award as part of the Salon du Dessin (March 21–26, 2018), an art fair devoted to drawings in the Palais Brongniart in Paris. A panel of ten judges selected Andersson from a shortlist of artists that also included Leiko Ikemura and Juul Kraijer.

Fellow gallery artist Jockum Nordström was awarded the prize in 2015.
