KARL ERNST OSTHAUS PRIZE 2001

Cultural award by the city of Hagen, sponsored by the Hagen Sparkasse

 

The city of Hagen established the Karl Ernst Osthaus Prize back in 1946 in memory of Karl Ernst Osthaus, curator, art communicator and originator of the Folkwang Concept. Now, starting this year, an international competition will be held every two years for the Karl Ernst Osthaus Prize, a cultural award by the city of Hagen, sponsored by the Hagen Sparkasse. The prize will be awarded by a jury of renowned experts for the best design for an exhibition to be held in the great hall of the Karl Ernst Osthaus Museum. Applicants must be at least 35 years old and must already have had at least one exhibition of their own work in a publicly funded institution (museum, art gallery, art society, etc.). Once the prizewinner has accepted the award, he or she will carry out the design in the Karl Ernst Osthaus Museum. The actual exhibition will be held within a year of the award in cooperation with the museum management; and will be financed with the award money. The monetary award is DM 50,000. A catalogue will be published to document both the design and the exhibition itself. All proposals for the competition will be exhibited. Only prints, drawings etc. will be accepted.
The closing date for entries is October 22, 2001 (postmark deadline)
The exhibition of the Karl Ernst Osthaus-Prize 2001 is scheduled for March 17 to May 5, 2002
