DOROTHEA VON STETTEN ART AWARD 2016
Young Art from the Netherlands
30 June - 25 September 2016

The Dorothea von Stetten Art Award, whose concept was revised in 2014, will take place for the 17th time this summer and will focus on the young art scene of the Netherlands. Seven Dutch art experts nominated seven artists who presented their work to a jury consisting of Adela Babanova (participant in the Dorothea von Stetten Art Award 2014), Michelle Cotton (Director, Bonner Kunstverein), Günter Friedrichs (Collector, Bonn), Marcus Lütkemeyer (Curator, Kunsthalle Münster and Schloss Ringenberg) and Timotheus Vermeulen (Professor for Cultural Studies, University of Nijmegen).

The jury selected the following three finalists who will present their work in a group exhibition taking place at Kunstmuseum Bonn from 30 June to 25 September 2016: Aimée Zito Lema, Dan Walwin and Taocheng Wang. The winner of the award endowed with € 10,000 will be announced on the evening of the exhibition opening. We’re very much looking forward to hosting this exhibition which will also be accompanied by a catalogue.
