Vincent Award

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Vincent Award (or The Vincent van Gogh Biennial Award for Contemporary Art in Europe) is awarded every two years to a European artist that judges believe "will have significant, enduring impact on contemporary art." [1] The award was created and is funded by The Broere Charitable Foundation in memory of Monique Zajfen, a Broere family friend. Nominated artists are exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the competition's jury is led by the museum's director.
