Pan Daijing, Dan Lie, Hanne Lippard and James Richards will receive the Nationalgalerie Prize, which will be awarded to four artists for the first time in 2024. The new format of the prize takes up the idea of the exhibition as a collective exchange and aims to expand the collection through the purchase of the four new productions. The award winners will produce four new works that will be shown in a joint exhibition at the Hamburger Bahnhof - Nationalgalerie der Aktuell from April to September 2024.
The jury for the Nationalgalerie Prize 2024 is made up of four international directors of collecting institutions: Cecilia Alemani (Director and Chief Curator High Line Art, New York), Elvira Dyangani Ose (Director MACBA, Barcelona), Kasia Redzisz (Artistic Director KANAL — Center Pompidou, Brussels) and Jochen Volz (General Director Pinacoteca do Estado, São Paulo) as well as Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath (Directors Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin) Gabriele Knapstein (Deputy Director and Collection Manager Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin).
National Gallery Prize
The Nationalgalerie Prize will be awarded for the twelfth time in 2024. Since 2000, this prize has promoted young, important positions in contemporary art that reflect the internationality and liveliness of the art scene in Germany and have already achieved significance through new artistic approaches. Artists who are currently living and working in Germany and are not older than 40 years of age at the time of nomination are eligible to take part in the Nationalgalerie Prize.
In previous editions, an artist from a shortlist exhibition was awarded the prize and then presented in a solo exhibition. From now on, all four nominees will be presented in a group exhibition at the Hamburger Bahnhof with a new production each, which will be acquired for the Nationalgalerie collection. The prize aims to celebrate the diversity of artistic approaches and media that characterizes contemporary art. The new production of works for the collection in a dialogue between artists and the institution represents contemporary forms of collecting.
The National Gallery Prize has been supported by BMW since 2007. The acquisition of the works of art is supported by Riller & Schnauck GmbH.
