LUKOWA Acquisition Prize

LUKOWA Group is looking to acquire an artwork presented at viennacontemporary 2024, thematically relating to the distribution of power. The idea is to explore ways in which this word and its meaning are present and analyzed in various artistic practices today, with an understanding that the interpretations of this subject can vary greatly. The context the collection is looking for is not limited to political, economic, or social issues, it rather encourages a much broader scope of iterations that can offer unique views on what “power” could mean. The collection allocates up to 5000 CHF for the acquisition.

About the collection and initiative

LUKOWA Group supports emerging to mid-career artists with the aim of encouraging outstanding ideas. The initiative considers contemporary culture and fosters a forward-looking worldview, engaging both the art community and the public. Their priority is to recognize artistic quality before other factors, such as age, origin or nationality, providing space for equal opportunities.
