VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS

New York, NY November 1, 2019

The GFAA program presents the list of nominees for its sixth edition- 99 nominees represent works in 6 continents, 27 countries and 74 cities.

GFAA conducts extensive year-round research of curated exhibitions and installations across the globe, designating awards for group and themed exhibitions, as well as awards for solo artist shows. Exemplified by the two newest awards launched in 2017 – Global Planet and Global Humanity, GFAA is determined to continue to illuminate the best works produced every year voicing the connection of art and global concerns.

Geographic, scale, ethnic and gender diversity are essential in the GFAA research and nominee selection:

• 22 Collaborations, an unprecedented number of shows that traveled to multiple cities and countries
• 23% of this year’s Nominees are in or about the art and artists of Asia, Africa and the Middle Eastern.
• 13% of this year’s Nominees feature Latin American artists, in Latin American countries and in diaspora.
• 33% of the Nominees are women in two of the highest profile solo artist categories – Best Contemporary and Post-War Art, and Best Modern or Impressionism
• Less than half of the GFAA Nominees exhibited in the top 100 art museums visited in the world (The Art Newspaper, April 2017), whereas the majority emanate from smaller institutions and other venues.

The culmination of the year-long process to discover the best curated art and design exhibitions will take place with the celebration of all Nominees and the presentation of the Winners of the 6th annual Global Fine Art Awards in Spring 2020.

GFAA Judges will select thirteen winners – one in each of the following award categories: Contemporary and Post-War- solo artist; Contemporary and Post-War- group or theme; Impressionist and Modern- solo artist; Impressionist and Modern- group or theme; Renaissance, Baroque, Old Masters and Dynasties- solo artist; Renaissance, Baroque, Old Masters and Dynasties- group or theme, Ancient Art, Photography, Design, Fringe, Public Art, Global Planet and Global Humanity. Youniversal, and YOU-2 are the two final awards, are given to the most popular nominees, and are selected by public voting on the GFAA website and social media.
