New Positions 2010

“The Best of the Best” the Audi Art Award for New Positions

'New Positions', ART COLOGNE's international sponsorship programme for young, innovative artists, is celebrating its thirtieth year. The programme is supported by the German Federal Government, the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, Koelnmesse - the Fair organizers - and the Bundesverband Deutscher Galerien und Editionen (BVDG).

There will be a special prize - the AUDI Art Award for New Positions - for the best young artist. The prizewinner will be given a solo show at the Cologne artothek. The Award includes publication of an exhibition catalogue. Funding will be in the region of €10,000.

This year's selection panel has chosen twenty-five young artists from twelve countries. Each young artist is allocated a free exhibition stand of 25 square metres. The stands for the young artists adjoin the stands of the galleries representing them.
