The Brigitta Spinocchia Freund Future Collectible Award
The Brigitta Spinocchia Freund Future Collectible Award celebrates an artist whose work demonstrates exceptional originality, technical ability, and long-term collecting potential. Rather than recognising only current success, the award looks ahead — identifying artists whose practice has the strength, consistency, and vision to become increasingly significant within the contemporary art market.
Sponsored by renowned collector, patron, and philanthropist Brigitta Spinocchia Freund, the award reflects her longstanding commitment to supporting artists at pivotal moments in their careers. As one of the world's most respected private collectors of contemporary art, Brigitta has consistently championed emerging talent, believing that early encouragement and visibility can have a lasting impact on an artist's professional journey.
The recipient of the Future Collectible Award is selected for producing work that is not only visually compelling but also demonstrates a distinctive artistic voice, a clear commitment to their practice, and the potential to build an enduring legacy. These are artists whose work has the qualities sought by serious collectors: authenticity, innovation, and the ability to remain relevant over time.
Beyond the recognition itself, the award highlights the importance of nurturing the next generation of collectible artists. It encourages collectors to discover exceptional talent early while providing artists with valuable exposure and increased confidence as they continue to develop their careers.
At the Women in Art Prize, we believe that today's emerging artists are tomorrow's leading names. The Brigitta Spinocchia Freund Future Collectible Award embodies that belief, shining a spotlight on artists whose work deserves to be seen, collected, and celebrated for years to come.
