The company Degussa Goldhandel is announcing a new international art prize together with Monopol – Magazine for Art and Life. The Young Generation Art Award is aimed at emerging artists at the beginning of their careers. It is intended to accompany promising artists on their way into the art world and support talented artists. A jury of experts selects the prize winner from a shortlist of five international artists. The prize money is 10,000 euros. In addition, the award winner receives a traveling exhibition for one year, which is shown at several locations worldwide. The art prize and the shortlist were presented to the public for the first time at Berlin Art Week 2024.
The following artists were selected for the shortlist:
- HanGyol Kim
- Lara Cook
- Thuy Tien Nguyen
- Boris Saccone
- Allistair Walter
“Art creates new perspectives and connects people all over the world. This is one of the reasons why art and culture sponsorship is part of Degussa’s realignment. The decision to pursue an artistic career is not always easy and usually involves great uncertainty “The people who take this step are driven by their passion for art. We are happy and proud to accompany and support artists on this path,” says Christian Rauch, CEO of Degussa Goldhandel.
“From my daily encounters with young art, I know how many talented young artists emerge from renowned art schools and what a high standard their work often already has. But taking the first steps into the art world is anything but easy. I’m happy “I hope that, together with Degussa Goldhandel, we can help young artists bring their work to the public. And I look forward to the many exciting encounters and the interesting art that awaits us in the selection process,” said Monopol editor-in-chief Elke Buhr.
The works of all shortlisted artists will be shown at the Degussa Berlin Gendarmenmarkt branch from November 15th. The exhibition can be seen there until February 14, 2025.
The award ceremony will take place at the finissage of the exhibition on Friday, February 14, 2025.

Elke Buhr, editor-in-chief of Monopol magazine, Yilmaz Dziewior, director of
