Shortlist announced for the third edition

Three artists have been shortlisted for the third Max Mara Art Prize for Women in collaboration with the Whitechapel Gallery. The judging panel, of which Iwona Blazwick, Director of the Whitechapel Gallery, is Chairwoman, includes artist Fiona Banner; gallerist Alison Jacques; art collector Valeria Napoleone; and art critic Polly Staple.
The Max Mara Art Prize for Women was set up to promote and nurture female artists based in the United Kingdom, enabling artists to develop their potential and providing an opportunity for them to produce new works of art. The prize itself will result in a six month residency based in Italy. The work will then be offered to the Collezione Maramotti for acquisition and presented at the Whitechapel Gallery in an exhibition in Spring 2011.
The shortlisted artists are Becky Beasley, Andrea Büttner and Elizabeth Price.
Following a presentation from each of the shortlisted

artists on their proposal for the commission, the winner will be announced in March 2010 and the project realised during a six month residency. The residency is divided into two locations. The first section will take place from 26 April 2010 at the American Academy in Rome and the second part at the Pistoletto Foundation in Biella.
The Maramotti family, owners of the Max Mara Fashion Group, are pre-eminent contemporary art collectors. The Max Mara Art Prize for Women is the first time the fashion house has established an arts prize in the UK and reflects the company’s strong association with art and women.
