The Aachen Art Prize for 2012 is scheduled to be awarded to British artist Phyllida Barlow. Born in Newcastle in 1944, Phyllida Barlow primarily works with sculpture, her works being characterised by a forceful connection to place. With prize money of 10,000 EUR and an exhibition in the Ludwig Forum, the Art Prize is awarded biannually to an artist whose works have continually given new impetus to the international art scene. Phyllida Barlow’s solo exhibition titled “BRINK” includes seven new works exclusively made for the show in the Ludwig Forum.
Previous winners of the Aachen Art Prize since 1983 include Pawel Althamer, Aernout Mik, Roman Signer, Andreas Slominski, Tacita Dean, Michael Asher, Richard Tuttle, Katharina Fritsch, Christian Boltanski, On Kawara, Ilya Kabakov, Richard Long, A.R. Penck and Luciano Fabro.
