The exhibition catalogue »Frei Otto. Thinking by Modeling« has been awarded the International CICA Julius Posener Exhibition Catalogue Award 2020 by the international jury. The catalogue was published in 2017 to accompany the then most extensive exhibition to date of the work of Frei Otto, which was displayed in 2016 at the ZKM. With the CICA Dennis Sharp Publications Awards 2020, CICA presents the tenth edition of its triennial CICA Book Awards, which awards prizes in the categories of book, exhibition catalogue, journalism, and digital communication.
The first time that the catalogue of a ZKM exhibition received an International CICA Julius Posener Exhibition Catalogue Award was in 2008. Edited by Roger Conover, Eda Čufer, and Peter Weibel, the catalogue for the ZKM exhibition »Call me Istanbul ist mein Name« won the International CICA Julius Posener Catalogue Award 2008.
