Hans Molfenter Prize 2025

The Hans Molfenter Prize established by the state capital of Stuttgart is endowed with funds from the estate of the Stuttgart painter Hans Molfenter. Since 1983, it has been awarded in recognition of an outstanding artistic oeuvre to visual artists who have a close connection to the city of Stuttgart and the surrounding region. The prize, which is endowed with 16,000 euros, is customarily awarded triennially. The prize is always accompanied by a presentation at the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. 

The Hans Molfenter Prize of the state capital Stuttgart will be awarded to two artistic positions in 2025, as the award had to be suspended once due to the pandemic. The prize will be awarded to video and installation artist Heba Y. Amin and the punk performance collective Horizontaler Gentransfer. The decision was made by an expert jury chaired by Marc Gegenfurtner, Head of the Cultural Office of the City of Stuttgart.
