THE FOUNDER
Klára Herczeg (1906–1997), Munkácsy Award-winning sculptor
was born in Budapest and spent her childhood in Vienna. She studied in Vienna and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest under Zsigmond Kisfaludy Stróbl. She worked in Berlin (at the Rosenthal porcelain factory) and then continued her studies in Paris under Charles Despiau. From 1925, she regularly exhibited at Hungarian and international exhibitions, including the 1937 Paris and 1938 New York World's Fairs. Around 30 of her public sculptures can be seen throughout the country. Her works can also be found in Hungarian and foreign museums (e.g., Dürer-Haus, Van Gogh Museum).
HISTORY OF THE AWARD
In her will, Klára Herczeg specified the support of artists as her goal. The administrators of her estate, Dr. Ildikó Szűts and Dr. Ádámné Székely, entrusted the Studio of Young Artists’ Association with establishing the award. Established in 1998, the Klára Herczeg Award is presented annually in two categories: one for a Senior and one for a Junior Artist from the members of the association, in the spirit of intergenerational dialogue. The award is administered by the Studio Foundation.
SENIOR CATEGORY
Each year, the FKSE board invites a renowned expert to nominate three Senior Artists.
The winner is selected by a three-member jury appointed by the Studio Foundation.
JUNIOR CATEGORY
The Studio awards the Junior prize to one of its members under the age of 35 who has achieved outstanding artistic success in the previous year.
