ars viva 2025: Prize of Visual Arts

Since 1953, the Kulturkreis der deutschen Wirtschaft im BDI e.V. (Association of Arts and Culture of the German Economy at the Federation of German Industries e.V.) has awarded the ars viva Prize of Visual Arts to exceptional young artists living in Germany, whose works of art demonstrate an independent formal language and an awareness of contemporary issues.

In this period, more than 350 artists have been recognized, including Georg Baselitz, Katharina Sieverding, Albert Oehlen, Rosemarie Trockel, Candida Höfer, Wolfgang Tillmans, Thomas Struth, Jochen Lempert, Jeanne Faust and Omer Fast.

The jury selects three prize winners from the nominated artists under the age of 35 who live and work in Germany. This year, the prize will be presented in an exhibition at the Kunsthalle Bremen.
A catalogue of the exhibition in German and English will be published by the Kerber Verlag.
