History

The "Great Berlin Art Prize " has had a checkered history. He was originally on 18 March 1948 by the city Berlinals "Berlin Art Prize - Jubilee Foundation 1848/1948 " has been donated and should remind us of the March Revolution and the " for a new state fallen revolutionaries." First prize winners of the just before the currency reform, each with 10,000 marks doped price were the sculptor Renée Sintenis and the composer Ernst Pepping and Wolfgang Fortner in 1948. The former Senator of Education Joachim Tiburtius awarded the prize without awarding criteria and without a jury.

1949 a statute was drafted. The price (per division 3,000 DM) should be awarded for achievements in literature, music, painting, graphic and performing arts each year. As a result, changes in the division, the division between several winners and award criteria revealed. From the mid- 1950s, the award ceremony was always accompanied by criticism.

In 1956 were from the former statute "Guidelines". This specified that the individual prices are merged for Visual Arts at a price and a price for film radio television is added. In addition, a clear dichotomy in the grand prize Berlin art prize and a scholarship prize of the Young Generation was created. It should in future only another artist from the six arts areas with a top prize à DM 4,000 and DM 2,000 a scholarship à be considered. The jury members should only be named on a proposal from the Academy of Arts. Only the presentation of the awards has been made ​​in a ceremony with certificate of honor and of state by the respective Governing Mayor.

In 1969, the award ceremony took place under the protest of the extra-parliamentary opposition, to the winners of the Fontane Prize Wolf Biermann and the literary prize of the Young Generation under Peter Schneider resulting riots left their prices. This was the reason to suspend the award in 1970 for the Berlin Senate. The Academy of Arts was invited to the award of a new art prize Berlin - 1848/1948 to make the Jubilee Foundation on its own. After much discussion, both internally and in public, the plenary of the General Assembly of the Academy decided on November 8, 1970 unanimously new guidelines: The award is to be made in future without ceremony. Instead of the last six main prizes of $ 10,000 and six prizes of Young generation at 5,000 DM was decided on two main annual prizes of $ 15,000 and six scholarships to 10,000 DM per

In 1978, the two main prizes in favor of a single art prize Berlin were merged in the amount of DM 30,000. This price should henceforth be awarded a rotational basis in the exchange of the six sections of the Academy, only a year in a division. From the scholarships were encouraging prices.

Since 2002 the Berlin Art Prize is endowed with 15,000 euros, the promotion rates at 5,000 euros. According to § 1 of the guidelines with the Berlin Art Prize " artistic achievements " not divided or awarded " divided two equal parts " in maximum supported ( promotion price ).
