4th International André Evard Prize
02/13/2016 – 04/24/2016
For the fourth time, the messmer art gallery has announced the André Evard Art Prize, which is dedicated to the Swiss artist André Evard (1876 – 1972). As early as 1913 he was dealing with geometric abstractions in his paintings. This makes him one of the first non-figurative artists and one of the pioneers of Swiss constructive-geometric painting.
Artists from all over the world could apply for the International Evard Prize until July 31, 2015, and more than 750 artists from 47 different countries submitted their works.
In the pre-selection, 108 different artist positions have now been selected, which will be exhibited from February 13, 2016 in an exciting overview in the messmer art gallery.
During the course of the exhibition, a renowned expert jury decided on the winner of the International Evard Prize.
Betty Rieckmann won the award. The audience calculated that Bodo Sperling had the most chances, so he won the audience award.
