Poetry Net (1), 2020, Nicola Anthony, has been shortlisted for the 2020 Sovereign Asian Art Prize. Learn more about this artwork here.
The Sovereign Asian Art Prize is recognised as the most prestigious prize in its field and region.
The public exhibition of the 30 finalists will be held at K11 ATELIER, Hong Kong, from the 6th - July 19th. There will be private curated tours of the exhibition on the 19th, 16th and 23rd of June 2020. Bookings available here.
Held annually, the Sovereign Asian Art Prize invites mid-career contemporary artists - nominated by a carefully selected board of independent art experts from the region - to enter up to three artworks. Entries are then shortlisted by a small judging panel consisting of world-class art specialists, who select the best 30 artworks to be exhibited in a prominent public space in Hong Kong, where the pieces are judged a second time, in person.
All artworks are then auctioned to the public - with the exception of the winning entry, which becomes the property of the Foundation and is used to further its charitable aims.
Public viewing: 6 June – 19 July 2020
11 am - 7 pm (Mon-Fri),
11 am - 8 pm (Sat-Sun, Public Holidays)
Venue: K11 HACC, K11 ATELIER King's Road, 728 King's Road, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong
More about the Sovereign Art Foundation: The Sovereign Art Foundation (SAF) was established in 2003 with a well-defined twin focus: to recognise the growing wealth of contemporary art talent in Asia, and bring the proven benefits of expressive arts to underprivileged children. "The beauty of our model is that we are able to achieve both goals in an eminently sustainable way. The Sovereign Asian Art Prize, now recognised as the most prestigious prize in its field and region, raises funds by auctioning those artworks that reach the final stage of the competition. The proceeds are then shared equally between the artists and the Foundation, to be used for our charitable projects across Asia."
