The 2025 Helmut Kraft Foundation Prize for the Promotion of the Visual Arts goes to the painter, draughtsman and sculptor Peter Stauss (*1966 in Sigmaringen), who lives and works in Berlin. With his unmistakable visual language, Peter Stauss is one of the current voices of new figurative painting in Germany.
The Helmut Kraft Foundation awards an annual art prize to visual artists whose work is characterized by a high degree of artistic independence and quality. The prize takes the form of a purchase that is donated to a museum - in 2025 to the Kunstmuseum Singen. The two paintings "Beach Vendor" (2016, oil paint on plywood panel) and "Master of Perfect Balance" (2016, oil paint on plywood panel), both from the "Dutch Master" series, were selected.
The works will be presented during the award ceremony; the official donation from the Helmut Kraft Foundation to the city of Singen will also take place on this evening. Mayor Bernd Häusler accepts the donation on behalf of the city of Singen.
The award ceremony will be followed by an aperitif in the museum foyer - a great opportunity to talk to the foundation and the artist.
