Since 1953, the ars viva Prize for Visual Arts has been awarded each year to outstanding young artists living in Germany, whose artistic works show an individual style of language and an awareness of contemporary questions. This year the Kulturkreis der deutschen Wirtschaft im BDI e. V. (Association of Arts and Culture of the German Economy at the Federation of German Industries) has awarded the prize to Karimah Ashadu (*1985), Thibaut Henz (*1988) and Cemile Sahin (*1990). The publication accompanies the awardees's exhibitions at the Kunstverein in Hamburg and at the Galerie fur Zeitgenoessische Kunst Leipzig.
