Full Description

When words are bereft of their power and meaning, art is able to communicate in its stead. It has its own means of visualizing multiplicity, commenting on events, or connecting thoughts. This is evidenced in a variety of ways in the 2024 ceramic work honored with the Westerwald Prize and exhibited as part of the award ceremony. Whereas Irina Razumovskaya (b. 1990, First Prize) illustrates pain and complexity through her emotive surface designs, the sculptural objects by Nora Arrieta (b. 1989, Second Prize) bring forth fairy-tale-like or even apocalyptic visual worlds. Bodil Manz (b. 1943) dominated salt-glaze pottery with her clear, geometric style, winning the Town of Höhr-Grenzhausen Prize, while Beate Gatschelhofer (b. 1994) was awarded the New Talent Prize for her bold, colorful take on ceramics.
