Press kit: The Best of All Worlds!? 20 Years of the Cardinal König Prize
18.10.24 to 02.02.25

To mark the 20th anniversary of the Cardinal König Art Prize, the exhibition showcases works by previous prizewinners. The prize, which has been awarded by the Archdiocese of Salzburg by a jury every two years since 2004, honours young artists who are based in Austria and whose body of work is of supra-regional significance and shows promise for the future. The artists and their works featured in the exhibition also represent a current chapter in the general history of contemporary art, given the special history of the prize. They thus testify to the charisma and significance of this prize far beyond its own institutional context.

Artists: Kerstin von Gabain, Julia Haller, Kathi Hofer, Nika Kupyrova, Angelika Loderer, Marko Lulić, Christian Kosmas Mayer, Michèle Pagel, Hans Schabus, Nicole Six & Paul Petritsch

In cooperation with the Kardinal König Art Fund
