Carnegie Art Award is aimed at artists who live in or are citizens of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway or Sweden. A most important and crucial task is that of proposing artists to be invited to the selection process. About 30 experts on Nordic contemporary painting each nominate up to five artists to this distinction. The experts are requested to name the most skillful artists according to their view, and are also encouraged to propose at least one talented young artist among these. The nominators are free to suggest artists that have already participated in Carnegie Art Award exhibitions. Among the experts are representatives from museums and schools as well as critics and other specialists on Nordic contemporary painting. The experts presented on this site are acknowledged in the book, unless they prefer to remain anonymous. Each year a new group of experts is requested to nominate artists. The nominated artists are invited to contribute with up to five works each, produced during the last two years. The names of the artists are treated confidentially. Only those selected to be part of the exhibition are publicly announced. |
