A New Gaze

Vontobel Contemporary Photography Prize

A new perspective

Photography can open up a new perspective on the present, make us question our reality, and expand our horizons. Launched in 2017, A New Gaze is intended as a steppingstone for emerging artists, enabling an international artist to implement an idea for a project from its conception through to the exhibition and accompanying catalog.

Awarded every two years, each edition of Vontobel’s sponsorship prize focuses on a new geographical region and socially relevant topic, to promote and convey alternative views from around the globe. Complimenting the company’s Art Collection, the award further emphasizes Art Vontobel’s philanthropic approach and highlights our intention to foster the next generation.
