‘Trisha Donnelly is without doubt one of the most compelling artists of our time whose work offers entirely new ways of experiencing and thinking about form, at once synaesthesic and disruptively transporting. As an artist she occupies a position of committed resistance to the easy appropriation of art as something contained and ultimately controllable. At the same time, the extraordinary generosity of her work […] is electrifying in its permission’ – Suzanne Cotter, 2016

On the occasion of the awarding of the 2017 Wolfgang Hahn Prize to Trisha Donnelly, the Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst am Museum Ludwig publishes the laudation by guest juror Suzanne Cotter (Museum Serralves, Porto) and an essay by Barbara Engelbach (Museum Ludwig, Cologne) on the passionate collector Wolfgang Hahn.
