Voor de tweede keer word ik gehonoreerd met de internationale prijs International Prize Botticelli, zo stond te lezen in de e-mail die ik vanmiddag ontving van de Effetto Arte Foundation.
Van deze organisatie, de Effetto Arte Foundation, heb ik inmiddels al een flink aantal internationale prijzen mogen ontvangen en heeft er toe geleid dat ik ook in andere netwerken terecht kom.
De fototentoonstelling in Parijs die een jaar lang duurt, is daar een voorbeeld van, maar ook de tentoonstelling vorig jaar in Brugge is min of meer te danken aan deze organisatie omdat zij mij hiermee op de kaart zetten en vooral lovend over mijn werk zijn.
Zoals op de website van de stichting valt te lezen:
“We love to call ourselves art lovers.
A passion that for over a decade has spurred us to publish, study, review and exhibit without respite.
From the Eiffel Tower to the MEAM in Barcelona, from the Palaexpo in Verona to the New York fair, our organization guarantees high planning standards. Our installations, with attention to the smallest details, stood out both for the exclusivity of the locations (museums, historic buildings, theaters) and for the high number of visitors.
We love to accompany the visitor on a global artistic experience, which also includes listening to good music at our events. Artists such as Edoardo Bennato, Katia Ricciarelli, Morgan, Dolcenera, Danilo Rea, Alba Parietti, Moni Ovada, Mattew Lee, Piero Chiambretti, Red Ronnie, Philippe Daverio, Edoardo Sylos Labini, Luca Beatrice, Angelo Crespi and Vittorio Sgarbi attended our events, and the list goes on.”
De International Prize Botticelli prijs mag ik voor de tweede keer in ontvangst nemen.
De eerste keer was in 2019 waarvoor ik toentertijd een foto van Catinca heb ingestuurd.
De uitnodiging die ik nu ontving van de organisatie gaat over een prijs die ik in ontvangst mag nemen tijdens een event in Washington.
De e-mail staat hieronder:
“Dear Tjeerd,
I am very proud to award you with the International Prize Botticelli.
The Prize is for the Artists that are worth for their artistic merit.
You will be awarded on January 20th, 2024 at the Borghese Palace – Florence, to the presence of collectors, journalists, politicians and art lovers.
If the artist will not be present at the awards ceremony, the prize will be sent home.
It is one of the most prestigious art awards awarded in the heart of Florence.
Florence is one of the most beautiful city of the world, able to give to its visitors un forgettable emotions, and now it will host the “International Prize Botticelli”.
The prestigious award, will be given to those artists who stood out for their artistic and stylistic research.
For the occasion will be selected, by Salvatore and Francesco Saverio Russo, some of the best international and contemporary artists.
The award is a right symbol for an important artistic career.
In the heart of the ancient Florence, near “Piazza del Duomo” and “Piazza delle Signorie”, Borghese Palace is one of the most significative example of Neo-classic architecture of the state capital, Florence.
Even if its facade is majestic, this palace could seem hidden by the strict road.
But once you come in, the beauty and the elegance are dazzling: the large honour salon brings to the Mirrors’ Room , that was the bedroom of Paolina Bonaparte.
The last restoration of 1994 brought the palace to its original beauty, and it has also been provided of all the necessary comfort to become a prestigious place for meetings and events.
Borghese Palace has been built in just six months in 1821, including the Neoclassic buildings already existing, basing on the project of Gaetano Baccani made for the Prince Camillo Borghese.
It is the location of the Borghese Club, and at the noble floor, of the “Stampa”.
The external part of the building is characterized by a painted tabernacle that show a holy virgin with child, by Giuseppe Bezzuoli, and, in front of it we can see the Saint Procopio Church, straight form the III century, that still isn’t officiate.
You will be eligible for:
– A page into the art book CONTEMPORARY Celebrity Masters Vol. VII in the section dedicated to the “International Prize Botticelli”.
– A page into the official catalog of the event “International Prize Botticelli”
– Conferment of the “International Prize Botticelli” (precious customized trophy).
– A copy of the art book CONTEMPORARY Celebrity Masters Vol. VII
– A copy of the catalog “International Prize Botticelli”
– Video exhibition of the participating works on the big screen located at the entrance of Palazzo Borghese.
– A copy of the Art Calendar Arte Italiana 2024
De deadline voor insturen van een foto is 10 december 2024.
Ik denk er nog even over na of ik een foto (en welke dan?) zal insturen voor deze internationale prijs.
Meer info volgt wellicht op een later moment.
