history
The “Zurich Art Prize” was launched in 2007 by Museum Haus Konstruktiv under its director Dorothea Strauss and the museum's patron partner, the Zurich Insurance Group. It is aimed at artists who have already established a position in the art discourse and who support the cultural legacy of constructive - concrete artas represented by the awarding museum, further developed with new contemporary, conceptual tendencies. The prize money was SFr. 80,000, which were used for a solo exhibition in the Museum Haus Konstruktiv and an exhibition catalog.
