38. Österreichischer Grafikwettbewerb

CONGRATULATIONS to CHRISTINA ZURFLUH – winner of the 38. Austrian Award for Art on Paper

71 years ago, in 1952, Paul Flora founded the Austrian Graphic Art Competition: an open competition with a free choice of subject, the only restrictions being the medium, format and date, i.e. only works on paper measuring a maximum of 1.5 x 1.5 metres and created within the last three years. With the original rules still in place today, 2023 was the 38th edition of a competition calling for creativity and experimentation.

In response, 443 entries – totalling around 1,000 sheets – were submitted by artists from Austria, twelve of which were awarded prizes while another four were purchased.
