The third edition of the Spanish Cultural Awards Niram Art, given away each year by the Publishing House and Magazine Niram Art, took place last Saturday at the Army Cultural Centre in Madrid.
The French writer Michel Houellebecq received the Grand Niram Art Prize for literary achievements, the Mihail Sebastian Trophy. “The first award I received in my life bore the name of the Jewish-Romanian poet Tristan Tzara and it is a great joy for me to receive tonight an award named after another great Jewish-Romanian writer”, said Michel Houllebecq.
Michel Houellebecq will spend a week in Madrid, on the invitation of Niram Art Publishing House. On Sunday, he had a meeting with the Spanish public in Espacio Niram Cultural Café and on Thursday, the 20th of December, he will meet with students at the Complutense University in Madrid.
The Spanish poet and former Minister of Culture of Spain, Cesar Antonio Molina received the Niram Art – Tristan Tzara Award for poetry, for his book “The End of Finisterre”. Among the awardees, there were also the Spanish writer Diego Vadillo López, the former President of Romania, Emil Constantinescu, and other writers and artists.
This year, the Fine Arts Award was replaced by a tribute to the life and work of painter Baruch Elron (1934-2006), who is considered one of the most important contemporary painters of Israel. During the ceremony, the book “Baruch Elron”, a thorough study on the complex artistic world of the painter, written by the Spanish writer Hector Martinez Sanz, was presented to the public. His works are present in numerous museums around the world and he was also the President of the Union of Israeli Artists. This is the first presentation of Elron’s work in Spain.
