Vordemberge-Gildewart Award 2020
Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart (1899 - 1962) was one of the first artists to create an entirely abstract body of work. His innovative spirit was akin to that of the artists of De Stijl, the movement he joined in 1925. His name is also attached to a European prize for artists under the age of 35. The Vordemberge-Gildewart Award will be presented in The Hague for the first time on Saturday 22 February. The ten nominees have been announced. They are: Salim Bayri, Deborah Bowmann, Bob Eikelboom, Ricardo van Eyk, Eva Giolo, Nadia Guerroui, Sharon Van Overmeiren, Emma van der Put, Dan Walwin and Charlott Weise. Their work can be seen at GEM museum of contemporary art from 23 February to 5 April 2020.
The award was launched by the Vordemberge-Gildewart Foundation, which was established in memory of the German-Dutch De Stijl artist by his widow Ilse Engelina Leda. The award has been presented in a different country each year since 1983. The Netherlands has hosted the ceremony twice before, in 1989 and 2000, when Guido Geelen and Mark Manders received the award.
