Since 30 years, Art Cologne art fair supports young artists with the "New Positions" program. For the 47th Art Cologne, a jury has selected 22 young artists. Each of them gets a special booth at the fair alongside the stands of their galleries, and one of them is awarded the New Positions prize. This year, Zbyněk Baladràn, represented by Galerie Jocelyn Wolff, Paris, is the winner of the award. Zbyněk Baladràn is a young czech artist who will be presenting the Czech Republic at this year's Venice Biennale.
