Preisträger

1998 // Wolfgang Friedrich // Arethusa

"He who chooses to follow a process that requires an extended amount of time, gains a different relationship than he who sees time as an rapid and temporary phenomenon that passes in an instant. Friedrich's skill and aptitude can sometimes deceive one into believing his forms are created through a specific and rapid approach, yet despite his talents, such results are not so quickly achieved" 
(Source: Prof. Dr. Heinz Spielmann, a member of the jury for the awards ceremony catalog).
