Having previously been nominated for the Turner Prize in 1995, he won in 2007 for his installation State Britain.

1996

In front of the pavilion Oxymoron (1996) was flying from a flagpole, a flag with the British Union Jack replaced by green and orange of the Irish flag colours.

1997

In addition to Angel (1997), Threshold to the Kingdom (2000), Life Class (2001), Ghost (2001), and Time and Relative Dimensions in Space (2001), the sculpture Ecce Homo (1999-2000), first presented on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, in 2000, welcomed visitors into the main gallery.

1998

In 1998, Wallinger won the Henry Moore Fellowship, British School at Rome, an award offered to outstanding scholars and artists with the opportunity to work in Rome for 3 to 12 months.

2001

He represented Britain at the Venice Biennale in 2001.

In 2001, Wallinger was honored with the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program, one of the world's most respected artist-in-residence programmes for established artists working in the fine arts, film, literature and music.

The following year he received an Honorary Fellowship from the London Institute.

In 2001, the British Council revealed that they had selected Mark Wallinger to produce a solo show of new and past artworks for the British Pavilion at the 49th Venice Biennale.

The show included sculpture, video, painting, and photography.

Wallinger presented the site-specific work, Facade (2001), which wrapped the front of the British Pavilion with an identical size replica colour photograph of the Pavilion itself printed on vinyl-coated material attached from scaffolding.

Ghost (2001) continued with Wallinger’s fixation and exploration of British horse racing traditions.

In contrast, Time and Relative Dimensions in Space (2001) referred to the space-traveling machine from the British show Doctor Who.

Recreated especially for the biennale, Wallinger delivered a reflective mirrored replica of the famous police box.

Wallinger's later work appears to have largely turned away from his earlier preoccupations, instead apparently focusing on religion and death and the influence of William Blake.

The art historian Yve-Alain Bois described State Britain as “one of the most remarkable political works of art ever”.

On speaking to the BBC about the award, Wallinger added, "I am indebted to all those people who contributed to the making of State Britain. Brian Haw is a remarkable man who has waged a tireless campaign against the folly and hubris of our government’s foreign policy. For six-and-a-half years he has remained steadfast in Parliament Square, the last dissenting voice in Britain. Bring home the troops, give us back our rights, trust the people."
