Congratulations to Cornelia Sollfrank @Coco! The jury of the Stiftung Kunstfonds has awarded the artist the 2025 HAP Grieshaber Prize of VG Bild-Kunst, which comes with a €25,000 honorarium, in recognition of her outstanding artistic achievements.
Since the 1990s, Sollfrank has explored digital media and the paradigm shifts they have brought to aesthetic practice and theory. Recurring themes in her work include authorship, new forms of (political) self-organization, artistic infrastructures, and techno-feminism. Through a wide range of artistic projects and interventions—often as part of (techno-)feminist collectives—as well as her work in research and education, Sollfrank has earned a reputation as a pioneer of net art.
With this award, named after painter and woodcut artist HAP Grieshaber, #vgbildkunst honors an artist who played a key role in the initiative to establish VG Bild-Kunst. The prize is awarded annually.
