...One must firmly and irrevocably realize once and for all that sculpture is neither literature, symbolism, nor individual psychological emotion.
Sculpture is exclusively the creation of form in space.
Sculpture addresses all people and speaks to them in one and the same way - Katarzyna Kobro, Rzezba i bryla (Sculpture and Mass), Europa, No. 2, 1929
Artists to Artists:
The annual Katarzyna Kobro Award was established in 2001 by Nika Strzeminska, the artist's daughter, Georg von Kobro, and artist Jozef Robakowski (Katarzyna Kobro Award Chairman). The prize is intended to honor a progressive and searching attitude, an artist open to the creative exchange of ideas...
The jury for the award has always consisted of the most outstanding Polish artists from different generations. The 2006 jury included Teresa Murak, Konrad Kuzyszyn, Slawomir Sobczak, Alicja Zebrowska, and Zuzanna Janin.
In previous years the award has been given to Zbigniew Dlubak (2001), Jürgen Blum-Kwiatkowski (2002), Andrzej Dluzniewski (2003), Krzysztof M. Bednarski (2004), and Teresa Murak (2005).
