Artist of the Year 2023
Jury report Artist of the Year 2023
Barbara Nanning has become Artist of the Year 2023 in the category Gallery of Contemporary Artists 2023, 1st position.
The versatile oeuvre of Barbara Nanning includes large-scale installations, ceramic- and glasssculptures.
She received many international prizes for her ceramic works using the unique, sparkling, velvet-looking coloured sand finish that she developed.
Her large-scale installations can be found in indoor spaces, public streets and in cruise ships. For many of her monumental commissions, Barbara makes use of advanced computer designs. Moreover, she has developed types of finishes new to the industry that can be applied in large-scale projects.
Since 2000, Barbara has focused particularly on glass. She is constantly working with colour and light in a new manner, trying to capture the movement of nature by bringing it to a standstill; time caught in glass.
Her work can be found in the collection of more than 70 international museums.
Anniversary glass object WG40
I specially created an anniversary glass object for our 40th anniversary at the WG studio.
This object is blown and hand-formed in overlay technique. The inner shape is Verre églomisé, covered with orange, Louvre or Palladium gold leaf. All objects are unique due to the shape and the various color patterns of the glass threads.
Edition: 18 pieces
Size: # 20 x 17 x 14 cm.

The Fraeylemaborg is a country estate in Slochteren, Groningen. The seven-century-old castle is located on an estate of over 23 hectares. The furnishing gives the impression of a classy house in the twentieth century.
Barbara Nanning’s enchanting glass art can be seen for the first time at the Fraeylemaborg Estate. Nanning makes glass, ceramics and large installations from her studio in Amsterdam. The selection of glass objects in this solo exhibition shows the enormous variety of her work. No wonder, her objects are in essence but snapshots, an attempt by the artist to capture movement, color and light.
She herself says about this: ‘I always work from the circle, an archetype. In the center of the circle is a resting point. From the resting point comes the movement and that is what I do; capturing the essence of movement and growth in my work.’
In 2023, Nanning was Artist of the Year in the UNESCO Year of Glass and her work can be found in 70 international museums.
