Nasher Sculpture Center Establishes International Nasher Prize for Sculpture

News ＆Press　Thursday, 4.2.15　抜粋：

An international jury of renowned museum directors, curators, artists, and art historians who have an expertise in the field, and varying perspectives on the subject, will select the inaugural Nasher Prize winner, including: Phyllida Barlow, artist; Lynne Cooke, Senior Curator of Special Projects in Modern Art, National Gallery of Art; Okwui Enwezor, Director, Haus der Kunst; Yuko Hasegawa, Chief Curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo (MOT); Steven Nash, founding Director of the Nasher Sculpture Center and Director Emeritus of the Palm Springs Art Museum; Alexander Potts, art historian; and Sir Nicholas Serota, Director, Tate. The jury will evaluate nominations submitted by a larger group of their peers in a process moderated by Nasher Director Jeremy Strick.

“In recent decades, the very definition of sculpture has evolved and broadened. A prize that focuses attention on the current state of the field is an exciting proposition,” said Nicholas Serota. “I am delighted to be a member of this prestigious jury and look forward to a dynamic conversation as we go through the process of selecting the first winner of the Nasher Prize.”

The Nasher is developing a series of public programs and educational opportunities tied to the Nasher Prize, including public lectures, symposia and family programs designed to further extend the broader appreciation of sculpture.
