On 26 April 2007, the coveted award will be ceremonially presented for the second time in the framework of the viennaartweek at the LIECHTENSTEIN MUSEUM in Vienna.After a start attracting a great deal of international attention in the framework of the viennaartweek 06, art publishing houses were invited to submit entries for the 2007 viennaartbookaward. The award, conferred by the DOROTHEUM, the LIECHTENSTEIN MUSEUM, the GALERIE SANCT LUCAS and the LGT, focuses on the subject of “Old Masters”, with this consciously being broadly interpreted as referring to painting, sculpture, arts and crafts, and graphic art up until 1848. The essential assessment criteria are the academic standards and the rigour of the content in exceptional graphic execution, as well as outstanding achievement in production and workmanship.The members of the jury are Artur Rosenauer, Full Professor, DEPARTMENT OF ART HISTORY, VIENNA UNIVERSITY, Martin Böhm, Managing Partner DOROTHEUM, Johann Kräftner, Director PRINCELY COLLECTIONS, Vaduz / LIECHTENSTEIN MUSEUM, Vienna, Christian Satek, Creative Director C.
