Bernardine de Neeve Prize
Created by the Vereniging van Vrienden van Modern Glas, the Bernardine de Neeve Prize honors the first chief curator of arts and crafts at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, Ms. Bernardine de Neeve (1915-1996).
She was curator of arts and crafts at the aforementioned museum from the late 1950s and by virtue of that position responsible for collection policy. Soon she not only applied herself to traditional antique and historical utensils, but from 1960 she turned her attention primarily to contemporary crafts.
In 1986, Bernardine de Neeve was a founding member of the Association of Friends of Modern Glass. The award was created in 1990 to benefit the artistic development of glass artists from the Netherlands and Belgium.
Important criteria for the jury are diversity in modes of expression and techniques and encouraging artists who want to break new ground.
