Artist Katharina Fritsch is honored with the Goslar Kaiserring

The Kaiserring has been awarded in Goslar for 50 years. This year, it goes to the Düsseldorf sculptor Katharina Fritsch.
The character of her work - its size, apparent simplicity and painterly quality - lends the artworks a strong aura “that is both direct and yet complex”, according to the jury's statement. The unendowed Goslar Kaiserring is one of the world's most prestigious prizes for modern art. It has been awarded since 1975 and is presented each October. The first winners were Henry Moore, Max Ernst and Alexander Calder. They were followed by pioneers of contemporary art such as Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter and Christo.
