We are most happy to share with you the news that Edit András, art historian, art critic, curator, and senior member of the Research Centre for the Humanities, Institute of Art History in Budapest, Hungary is the recipient of this year’s Igor Zabel Award!

This award is unique in having been established in order to acknowledge exceptional achievements of curators, art historians, theorists, writers, and critics in the field of visual art and culture in Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe, and we are proud to count its recipient among our friends, a guest of the NEC on several occasions, and a participant in a number of our initiatives, the most recent being the series of Research Seminars on Periodization in the History of Art, in which she took part as Consultant and Guest Speaker.

We invite you to learn more about this award and its recipient on https://award.igorzabel.org/award-ceremony

The ceremony is taking place on October 29, 2024.

We can’t omit mentioning – with equal satisfaction – that it is the second year in a row when this award goes to a close friend of the NEC: last year its recipient has been another distinguished art historian, critic and curator – Bojana Pejić – who started her career in Belgrade and has been based for quite a while now in Berlin, and who has been a recurrent guest at the NEC, where she also acted as Consultant and Guest Speaker in the same seminar series.

We are certain that the NEC alumni and participants in these events will join us in congratulating Edit András!
