The Carnegie Art Award Sculpture
On May 28 the sculpture Elliptical Cone by Jene Highstein was unveiled in Stockholm. The sculpture is placed in the corner of Smålandsgatan/Birger Jarlsgatan. In connection with the prize ceremony of the Carnegie Art Award each award winner receives a unique miniature of the sculpture Elliptical Cone. The artist was commissioned to make a sculpture for the Carnegie Art Award in 1998.

The Carnegie Art Award takes an exciting step forward!
As from the autumn of 2003, the Carnegie Art Award will be presented bi-annually.

The exhibition will be shown for two months in each city, to increase the time the participating artists' works can be seen by the public. In consequence, the total exhibition period will be extended to around one and a half years.

Seminars and special shows, are also being planned around the exhibition, and the possibility of exhibiting the Carnegie Art Award in more cities is being looked into.

The Carnegie Art Award prize sums are being doubled. The first prize will be 1,000,000 Swedish kronor, second prize will be 600,000 kronor, and the third prize will be 400,000 kronor. The scholarship of 100,000 kronor will be given to a young artist.

An international representative (Robert Storr 2004) will be invited to participate in the jury meetings when the recipients of the prizes and scholarship are chosen.
