\"GFAA<\/a><\/p>\n

The votes are in!\u00a0<\/strong>Presenting the Winners of the 2015 Global Fine Art Awards<\/strong><\/p>\n

The culmination of a year of research, deliberation and voting to recognize the best curated fine art and design exhibitions in the world ended in the revelation of the 2015 winners of the nine Global Fine Art Awards on November 30, 2015\u2013 selected from 68 nominees in 19 countries, 5 continents and 42 cities.<\/p>\n

The Global Fine Art Awards (GFAA) research and nominating committees reviewed over 1,000 exhibitions and installations in more than 200 museums and galleries, from which the GFAA judges selected 28 finalists and ultimately 8 Winners and 2 Honorable Mentions for the 2015 program.<\/p>\n

The 9th and final award, \u201cYouniversal,\u201d was determined by public voting, which all nominees were eligible to win. Thousands of votes were cast during the voting period, from October 15th<\/sup> through November 1st, 2015.<\/p>\n

Nominees and guests, patrons and sponsors of the GFAA program celebrated the 2015 awards at a black-tie event and ceremony this evening at the historic Freedom Tower at Miami Dade College, Co-Hosted by Miami Dade College President Dr. Eduardo J. Padron and Judy Holm, GFAA President and CEO.<\/p>\n

GFAA judges Peter Trippi, Dean Phelus, Gina Costa and Dr. Barbara Aust-Wegemund selected the winners from 28 finalists in the following categories: Contemporary and Post-War Art; Impressionist and Modern Art; Renaissance, Baroque, Old Masters and Dynasties; Ancient Art; Public or Outdoor Installation or Exhibition, Design, Photography and Fringe.<\/p>\n

In learning that the Moscow Kremlin Museum\u2019s exhibition Charles Rennie Mackintosh: Manifest of the New Style<\/em> wins the Youniversal award, Dr. Olga Dmitrieva, the Museum\u2019s Deputy General Director of Education, and Professor, Faculty of History, Moscow State University says, \u201cArranging this exhibition we wanted to pay a tribute to the outstanding architect, artist and designer. Unfortunately, it also became a reminder of how fragile the works of art could be, even in the present day world. Once Mackintosh had expressed his philosophical reflections on art, asserting: \u201cArt is a flower, life is a green leaf\u201d. Both are vulnerable. But I do hope that with this project we made our humble contribution to the eternal triumph of life and art over death and destruction.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The J. Paul Getty Museum\u2019s \u201cLight, Paper, Process: Reinventing Photography\u201d exhibition receives the award for best Photography.\u00a0 Timothy Potts, Director of the J. Paul Getty Museum, says \u201cOn behalf of all of us at the J. Paul Getty Museum, in particular Virginia Heckert, the curator of Light, Paper, Process: Reinventing Photography, I want to thank the organizers and judges at the Global Fine Art Awards for selecting this extraordinary exhibition as the inaugural winner in the Photography category. We are all very proud.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
