The Bosch Aymerich Foundation opens the third edition of its Sculpture Prize
With a budget of 30,000 euros, the award recognizes works that engage with architecture and nominations can be submitted until July 18.
The Bosch Aymerich Foundation has opened the call for entries for the third edition of its Sculpture Award , an annual initiative that aims to promote artistic creation and, in particular, to highlight the dialogue between sculpture and architecture. This award, endowed with 30,000 euros, is aimed at artists over the age of eighteen residing in Spain who, in the last five years, have participated with sculptural works in at least two collective exhibitions or one individual exhibition. The works presented must be sculptures already made between 2020 and 2025. The period for submitting candidacies will end on July 18. The name of the winner will be announced during the month of October.
The Bosch Aymerich Foundation Sculpture Award aims to recognize those works that best express the relationship between sculpture and architectural space, in an increasingly standardized and often lack-of-identity urban context. This desire responds to the spirit of the institution's founder, the architect Josep Maria Bosch Aymerich, for whom architecture and sculpture were complementary disciplines, present both in his work and in his art collection.
In this third edition, the jury is made up of prominent figures from the world of contemporary art: Ainhoa Grandes , president of the Fundació Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA), who also chairs the jury; Andrés Escarpenter , patron of the Bosch Aymerich Foundation; Nuria Enguita , artistic director of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Lisbon; Alexandra Laudo , independent curator, and Juan Várez, collector and patron of the ARCO Foundation and the ABC Museum.

In the first two editions of the Sculpture Prize, Sergio Prego and Júlia Spínola were distinguished. The Basque artist received the award for an installation conceived for the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum that explored in an exceptional way the relationship between sculpture and architecture. For her part, the Madrid artist was awarded for a work presented at Espai 13 of the Miró Foundation that stood out for its ability to transform space and offer a sensorial experience through an innovative treatment of materials, time and gravity.
