Award ceremony on 18 March 2022 by the Governing Mayor Franziska Giffey and Kathrin Röggla, Vice-President of the Akademie der Künste. Hosted by Herbert Fritsch
Next Friday, 18 March, the French architect, painter and stage designer Richard Peduzzi will receive the 2022 Berlin Art Prize – Grand Prize. The Akademie der Künste awards the prize worth €15,000 annually and in each of its six sections in turn on behalf of the Land of Berlin. Kathrin Röggla, Vice-President of the Akademie der Künste, and Franziska Giffey, Governing Mayor of Berlin, will hold welcome addresses. Herbert Fritsch will host the evening and Mark Lammert will deliver the laudatory speech – both Akademie der Künste members and jurors of the Performing Arts Section.
This award by the Akademie der Künste recognises the life’s work of Richard Peduzzi (*1943). He has created exhibition spaces and presentations for international museums and designed the stage spaces for Patrice Chéreau’s entire theatrical oeuvre, and later also for Luc Bondy’s numerous theatre and opera productions.
In addition to the Grand Prize, the six Berlin Art Prizes each worth €5,000 will be awarded next Friday. The prizes will go to the artist Stephanie Gudra (Visual Arts Section), the landscape architects of atelier le balto (Architecture Section), the composer Øyvind Torvund (Music Section), the writer Roman Ehrlich (Literature Section), the theatre and film actor Bastian Reiber (Performing Arts Section) and the director and screenwriter Bettina Blümner (Film and Media Arts Section).
In addition, the 2021 Will Grohmann Prize will be presented to the Berlin-based US artist Zoë Claire Miller (see press release of 21.12.2021 here).
The recipients of the Will Grohmann Prize are either visual artists or personalities from the fields of art criticism, art theory or the exhibition sector.
