Many artists have developed their own specific form of drawing to lend adequate expression to the aspects important to them. In order to highlight the importance of drawing as a contemporary medium, the company Faber Castell has launched a new art prize, the »International Faber-Castell Drawing Award«. Five female artists were nominated by internationally renowned figures and are now presenting their works at Neues Museum in Nürnberg. The winner will be announced on the eve of the exhibition opening by a likewise international jury. The accompanying publication presents the various positions and once again shows what the art of drawing is capable of today. Participating artists: Sevda Chkoutova, Trisha Donnelly, Sabine Moritz, Paulina Olowska, Jorinde Voigt
