Peter C. Ruppert Prize for Concrete Art in Europe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The prize money of 15,000 Euros is provided by the Peter C. Ruppert Foundation: Collection of Concrete Art in Europe after 1945.[2]
The prize is awarded to internationally important artists of the Concrete art movementt. It serves to highlight the rank and importance of Concrete Art for the development of contemporary art and to make the Peter C. Ruppert Collection at the Museum im Kulturspeicher Würzburg known to a broader audience.[2]
At the same time, the prize is intended to help emphasize Würzburg's special status as a city of culture and Europe both nationally and internationally. The prize was first awarded in 2008 to the French artist François Morellet, in 2011 to the German Heijo Hangen and in 2013 to the Hungarian artist Dóra Maurer.
