The polymathic Austrian postconceptual artist, curator and new-media theorist wins the Lovis Corinth Prize recognizing his engagement with multiple mediums.

The Lovis Corinth Prize, first awarded in 1974, celebrates visual artists working in Eastern Europe and engaging with German art. In 2020 the prize goes to Peter Wiebel (born 1944), who started out in 1964 as a visual poet and transited from the page to the screen.
