Preisträger
1996 // Sabina Grzimek // Woman with Towel
"While Sabina Grzimek is known to draw and paint, she is primarily a sculptor. Her shapes are inspired by her hope that we, as people, can connect with one another and other living creatures despite differences; a hope of love and harmony. ... She displaces her characters in a state of weightlessness, imperfection, and pain to demonstrate how close life and mortality are to one another."
