Chilean artist and poet Cecilia Vicuña and German sculptor Katharina Fritsch will receive lifetime achievement awards at this year's Venice Biennale. The awards will be presented on the opening day, April 23. Cecilia Allemani, curator of the 2022 Biennale, particularly highlights Vicuña's translations of Latin American poetry collections and her artistic treatment of indigenous traditions. A painter and performance artist, Vicuña is also a pioneer of feminism. Katharina Fritsch's contribution to sculpture was exceptional, she said. Fritsch represented Germany at the 1995 Biennale, and is known for larger-than-life, monochrome sculptures such as the 1993 Rat King.
