The award goes to a visual artist whose work unites the disciplines of art and technology in an exceptional manner and for whom engineering is far more than a means to an end. In 2016, the independent jury has chosen to recommend fashion designer Iris van Herpen for the prize. Witteveen+Bos was proud to agree with this nomination. Appreciation The award enables Witteveen+Bos to express its special appreciation of creativity, an attribute that figures prominently in the work of engineers and artists alike and is a precondition for driving innovation. The award consists of a cash prize of €15,000, publication of a book dedicated to the winner and an exhibition of his/her work in the Bergkerk church in Deventer. An independent jury picks the winner and the award ceremony takes place annually in Deventer in November. Appreciation of art The Witteveen+Bos Art+Technology Award is part of a wider framework of appreciation of the arts. Within our firm a great deal of interest exists in art. Every five years we commission a small batch of a piece of art intended for our employees and business relations. A monumental statue called ‘Dialogue’ made by Jan Snoeck was put up in 2002 in front of our office on Leeuwenbrug in Deventer. We also sponsor the Deventer book market and the Deventer Theatre.
