Berlin, 2014/04/30 - The American Academy in Berlin is proud to announce the twenty-five recipients of the Berlin Prize Fellowship for the fall 2014 and spring 2015 terms. The highly competitive Berlin Prize is awarded each year to scholars, writers, and artists who represent the highest standards of excellence in their fields. The Academy’s seventeenth class of fellows is comprised of outstanding historians of art, architecture, culture, religion, science, and American life, fiction writers, artists, a poet, a journalist, a composer, a filmmaker, a legal scholar, and a scholar of comparative media.

The Berlin Prize includes a monthly stipend, partial board, and residence at the Academy’s lakeside Hans Arnhold Center in Berlin-Wannsee. It is awarded annually by an independent selection committee, chaired by Anthony Vidler, Professor of Humanities and History of Art and Architecture at Brown University. The Berlin Prize affords recipients the time and resources to step back from their daily obligations to work on academic and artistic projects they might not otherwise pursue, engage with their German counterparts, and experience Berlin’s vibrant cultural and political life.
