Since
1953, the ars viva Prize for Visual Arts has been awarded each year to
outstanding young artists living in Germany, whose artistic works show
an individual style of language and an awareness of contemporary
questions. This year the Kulturkreis der deutschen Wirtschaft im BDI e.
V. (Association of Arts and Culture of the German Economy at the
Federation of German Industries) has awarded the prize to Karimah Ashadu
(*1985), Thibaut Henz (*1988) and Cemile Sahin (*1990). The publication
accompanies the awardees's exhibitions at the Kunstverein in Hamburg
and at the Galerie für Zeitgenössische Kunst Leipzig.
