STRABAG ARTAWARD for Austrian artists 1994-2008
Until 2008 the Artaward was directed toward young Austrian artists and featured painting and drawing. The award has been a tradition for many years and is well-known and recognized among experts. Up tol 2002 the Austrian Strabag Artaward, created in 1994 in Carinthia, was presented in the Strabag Gallery in Klagenfurt. After a break of two years, the Artaward was transferred in 2005 to the new Strabag headquarters in Vienna in keeping with the goal of an international expansion.
Up to 400 applicants sent documentation of their works. 50 to 80 participating artists were chosen by the preliminary jury. Each of them had to bring three original artworks to the Strabag Artlounge. The art experts of the main jury selected the winner and four nominated artists from among these works.
> Lists of nominated artists 1994-2008
Up to 2008 Hungarian artists of ages 40 and younger were invited to take part in the Artaward of the Hungarian Strabag company. Three art works by each of the artists were brought to the Strabag headquarters in Budapest (60-150 participants per year).
A jury consisting of 5 members selected the prize winner (prize money HUF 1000000). In addition 4 awards of recognition (worth HUF 400000 each) were given out. Since 2009, the Hungarian award has been integrated into Strabag Artaward International.
As over the past twelve years, the Strabag Artaward organized by Strabag Hungary was handed out at the Ludwig Museum in Budapest, where all award ceremonies and exhibitions of the winning works took place. The catalog “10 Years of the Strabag Award in Hungary” was presented in 2006.
The organizers of the Hungarian Artaward were Sándor Pinczehelyi, artist and curator and József Appelshofer of Strabag Hungary.
The members of the jury were Lóránd Hegyi, Katalin Néray, Bencsik Barnabás, Zsolt Petrányi, Bálványos Anna, Márta Kovalovszky, Barbara Baum and Wilhelm Weiss.
