The winner was chosen by Docent, PhD\u00a0Harri Kalha<\/strong>\u00a0and the ceramic artist\u00a0Nathalie Lautenbacher<\/strong>\u00a0who unanimously selected the Berlin-based artist\u00a0Hinrich Kr\u00f6ger<\/strong>. \u201cThe award recognizes a furiously prolific artist whose exuberant work pushes the boundaries of good taste by ingeniously fusing the exquisite fragility of porcelain with trash aesthetics and erotica,\u201d comments Kalha and Lautenbacher. A selection of Kr\u00f6ger\u2019s porcelain pieces will be on display at EMMA\u2019s Bryk Wirkkala Visible Storage for one weekend, October 18\u201319, 2019.<\/div>\n
