Suffer uninvited publicity

Does the highlighted sentence mean "Whiteread suddenly and unexpectedly became famous (she was not any famous before and no one expected her to become famous) when her artwork titled House won the 1993 Turner Prize"?


Context:

As importantly, Beck’s have also developed a marketing strategy around the bottle, commissioning high-profile artists to create labels, the first of which was a limited edition of 2,000 by Gilbert and George for their 1987 exhibition at the Hayward. Emin again figures here, having posed in the bath for a label at the time of the 1999 Turner Prize, although other labels have been commissioned from well-known artists whose names are not usually associated with celebrity or brand imaging in the way that Emin is. These include Richard Long, Bruce McClean and Rachael Whiteread. Whiteread did, of course, suffer uninvited sensationalist publicity when she won the 1993 Turner Prize with House. This work was built with the support of event/public arts commissioning agency Artangel and financed by Beck’s
