This year's Cologne Fine Art Prize honors the German artist Horst Antes for his life's work. The award is endowed with 10,000 Euro and is conferred jointly by Koelnmesse and the Bundesverband Deutscher Galerien und Kunsthändler e.V. (BVDG/German Association of Galleries and Art Dealers) on the occasion of Cologne Fine Art. Previous prize winners include: Dieter Roth, Thomas Bayrle, Sigmar Polke, Gert and Uwe Tobias, Katharina Sieverding, Georg Baselitz, Tony Cragg, Candida Höfer, and Karin Kneffel.

The three-time documenta participant Horst Antes became famous with his "head figures", an image idea that offered endless possibilities for variation. Antes became known to a broad public through his metal sculptures in urban spaces. Since around the mid 1980s, Horst Antes has made a kind of iconic turnaround, and has since then taken up two fundamental elements of human culture, the number and the house, as central themes.

A special exhibition at Cologne Fine Art 2018 presents five large works, personally selected by Horst Antes: a window painting on loan from the Würth Collection, as well as several house paintings created between 1997 and 2006 and originating from various collections. The double portrait "House" and "Garden", in which the artist exhausts all possibilities of abstraction, can also be viewed.
