Following the great success of the two initial calls for entries, the Lesser-Ury Art Prize will also be awarded in 2025.

  
This award for visual arts, launched in 2024, will be given to artists for individual works that are selected by a jury of the KünstlerGilde eV as part of an art prize competition with an annually changing artistic focus.

  
The namesake of the prize, the painter and graphic artist Leo Lesser Ury , born in the province of Posen in 1861 , was part of the German Impressionist movement and an important representative of the so-called Berlin Secession . While the cosmopolitan had an almost legendary enmity with Max Liebermann, Ury only flourished within the Secession with regular exhibitions when Lovis Corinth - the namesake of the Lovis Corinth Art Prize of the Artists' Guild - replaced Liebermann as president. Ury's typical pictures with coffee house and street scenes - and not infrequently with very characteristic reflections of light - are still impressive today.

Prizes: Honor (the prize is currently not endowed) and publication in our magazine, homepage and in the press.

  
The KünstlerGilde eV is exhibiting participants in the shortlist exhibition of the Lesser-Ury Prize 2025 at Küferstraße 37 in 73728 Esslingen near the Wolfstor - probably from mid-April 2025\. As soon as the participants are confirmed, they will be named here on this page.

  
The shortlisted participants selected by the jury will be informed in good time by the Artists’ Guild and asked to send in the originals for the exhibition.

  
In general, it should be mentioned in this context that the association does not have the funds for special insurance. If you estimate the value of your works to be 5,000 euros or more, we would ask you to refrain from submitting them/participating as a precautionary measure.
