The four artists nominated to the Lorck Schive Kunstpris 2023 all represent the spearhead of Norwegian contemporary art and will make new works of art for an exhibition that opens in April 2023 at Trondheim kunstmuseum. Lorck Schive Kunstpris has received international attention for its unique collocation and presentation of the best contemporary art in Norway today, and there is no reason to doubt that the coming exhibition shall do the same.
In 2023 Lorck Schive Kunstpris will be awarded for the sixth time. The prize is a collaboration between Christian Lorck Schive og Hustrus legat (i.e. the Lorck Schive legacy) and Trondheim kunstmuseum.
