About
As a leading financial services group, born in the East and at home in the West, Nomura has a long legacy of taking on new challenges and embracing change. Dating back to its founding by Tokushichi Nomura II, an avid practitioner of the tea ceremony and supporter of Noh theater, the company also has a heritage of engagement with the arts.
In this spirit, Nomura is proud to inaugurate the Nomura Art Award in 2019, recognizing and encouraging the outstanding achievements and potential of today’s artists wherever they might live and work.
Nomura will present the Nomura Art Award, with a prize of US$1 million, to an artist who has achieved a body of work of major cultural significance. To help this artist take on new challenges and embrace change, the Award will support the creation of an ambitious new project that the winner did not previously have the means to realize.
In addition, Nomura will also present Emerging Artist Awards of US$100,000 each to two exceptional artists who are still at an early stage in their careers.

How the Award is Given

The late Okwui Enwezor
Independent curator, critic, author and editor
Described by the New York Times as “perhaps the most influential curator of the last quarter century,“ the late Okwui Enwezor was a galvanizing figure in the field of contemporary art and culture, with globally recognized achievements as a curator, critic, publisher, historian, writer, essayist, academic, editor, and public speaker. From 2011 to 2018 Enwezor was the Director and Managing director of Haus der Kunst, Munich. Previously, he served as Dean of Academic Affairs and Senior Vice President of San Francisco Art Institute, as well as adjunct curator in the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Art Institute of Chicago and at the International Center of Photography.
A champion of African and African American art and artists, his curatorial practice and scholarly work were predicated on an expansive view of artistic practice as global, multi-temporal, and transnational. In 1994, Enwezor founded, Nka: Journal of Contemporary African Art, the first recurring publication of its kind in the United States devoted to the critical and art historical analysis of modern and contemporary African art and the work of black artists worldwide.
As the Artistic Director of some of the most lauded and historical global exhibitions such as Documenta 11, 56th Venice Biennial of Art, 2nd Johannesburg Biennial, Gwangju Biennial, La Triennial Paris, and others, his curatorial projects have been at the center of global discussions on contemporary art for more than two decades. His numerous exhibitions include: “Postwar: Art Between the Pacific and Atlantic, 1945-1965,” (co-curated with Katy Siegel and Ulrich Wilmes); “Frank Bowling: Mappa Mundi; ECM: A Cultural Archaeology” (co-curator Markus Mueller); “Rise and Fall of Apartheid: Photography and the Bureaucracy of Everyday Life”; “Archive Fever: Uses of the Document in Contemporary Art”; “The Short Century: Independence and Liberation Movements in Africa, 1945-1994”; “In/Sight: African Photographers, 1940-Present” (Co-Curators, Clare Bell, Danielle Tilkin, Octavio Zaya).
Born in Nigeria and educated in Nigeria and the United States, Enwezor has been honored with numerous prizes, as well as professional and public recognition for his work. Okwui Enwezor passed away on March 15, 2019.

The foundation’s mission is to enhance the artist’s legacy through exhibitions and scholarship; operate residency programs for artists in Captiva, Florida on Rauschenberg’s 22-acre home and in his former studio in New York City; and strengthen the creative life of artists through its philanthropy program.
Halbreich joined The Museum of Modern Art in the newly created position of Associate Director in February 2008 and was named the first Laurenz Foundation Curator in March 2016. Halbreich focused on curatorial and strategic issues designed to amplify contemporary programs and initiatives at MoMA and PS1, both locally and globally. In 2014, she was the lead curator of “Alibis: Sigmar Polke 1963–2010,” organized with Tate Modern. This was the first major exhibition to include all of the mediums explored by Polke and was one of the largest shows ever organized at MoMA. Halbreich headed the curatorial team for “Bruce Nauman: Disappearing Acts,” a retrospective, co-organized with the Schaulager in Basel, Switzerland, where it premiered in March 2018 before opening at MoMA and MoMA PS1 in the fall.
Prior to joining the Museum, Halbreich served as director of the Walker Art Center for 16 years. During her tenure, the Walker diversified its visitor base, extended its civic and international presence, and broadened its multidisciplinary programming in the visual, performing, and media arts. Under Halbreich’s leadership, the Walker presented many groundbreaking exhibitions, such as those devoted to the artists Chantal Akerman, Joseph Beuys, Bruce Nauman, Hélio Oiticica, and Kara Walker, as well as “How Latitudes Become Form: Art in a Global Age,” which was the result of a three-year partnership with a Global Advisory Committee. Beginning in 1985, Halbreich also organized the exhibition “Against Nature: Contemporary Art in Japan,” with partners in Japan and the United States.
Inducted into the American Association of Museums Centennial Honor Roll, a recipient of the Award for Curatorial Excellence from Bard College, and named a Chevalier of the French Order of Arts and Letters, Halbreich has served as commissioner for North America and Cuba at the Gwangju Biennale (1995) and curatorial advisor for the Carnegie International as well as a member of the Documenta X and Documenta XIII International Committees.
