Wolfgang-Hahn-Preis 2025:
Evelyn Taocheng Wang

Evelyn Taocheng Wang (*1981 in Chengdu, China, lives and works in Rotterdam, Netherlands) was awarded the 31st Wolfgang Hahn Prize by the Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst am Museum Ludwig in 2025. In her multi-layered works, the artist explores cultural identities and social relationships, raising questions about belonging, cultural hybridity, and personal memories, and relating these to Western and East Asian traditions of art and thought. “Wang’s drawings, created using traditional Chinese techniques of calligraphy and painting, serve as commentaries on Western culture, becoming intimate, like private poetry that is unconventional and unheard of. Evelyn Taocheng Wang has a special power to put her own identity into her work,” says Susanne Titz, guest juror and director of the Museum Abteiberg in Mönchengladbach.

The publication by the Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst presents the artist Evelyn Taocheng Wang and her work, as well as her presentation “Friendship” at the Museum Ludwig, with a laudatory speech by guest juror Susanne Titz, a text by Sophie Xiaofei Guo, an interview between the artist and Yilmaz Dziewior, a short biography, and numerous illustrations.

The publication was edited by Pia Gamon, Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst am Museum Ludwig e.V. (Cologne 2025, 126 pages with 38 color illustrations), retail price: €14.80 plus shipping costs.
