野村ホールディングスが、東京ではなく中国の上海で「賞金100万米国ドル (約1億1000万円) の野村アートアワード」をアピール Nomura Holdings appeals with a ‘US$ 1 Million Nomura Art Award’ not in Tokyo but in China’s Shanghai
笑うしかありません。間も無くヴェネツィア・ビエンナーレが始まります。参加する我が国のアーティストらには、毎回予算が全然足りません！
野村ホールディングスは、ヴェネツィア・ビエンナーレの日本代表アーティストらに、1億1000万円を寄付した方がよろしいのではないでしょうか？
We can only laugh. In two months starts the Venice Biennale. Every time, Japanese artists and Japanese curators are complaining about the lack of money in the context of the Biennale. Nomura Holdings should give those ‘millions’ of US Dollars to these artists!

Nomura Announces the Creation of the Nomura Art Award, a US$1 Million Prize to Nurture Creativity in Contemporary Art
Tokyo, March 20, 2019—Nomura Holdings, Inc. today announced it is creating the largest cash award in contemporary visual arts to encourage and nurture creativity.
Each year, Nomura will present the Nomura Art Award to an artist who has created a body of work of major cultural significance. To help this artist take on new challenges and embrace change, the US$1 million prize may be used in whole or part to support an ambitious new project that the winner did not previously have the means to realize.
Nomura will also present annual Emerging Artist Awards of US$100,000 each to two exceptional artists in early stages of their careers.
Nomura has a long legacy of taking on new challenges and embracing change. Dating back to its founding by Tokushichi Nomura II, an avid practitioner of the tea ceremony and supporter of Noh theater, the company has a heritage of engagement with the arts.
In this spirit, Nomura is proud to inaugurate the Nomura Art Award in 2019, recognizing and encouraging the outstanding achievements and potential of today’s artists wherever they might live and work.
Award recipients are chosen by an independent, international jury made up of some of the world’s most respected museum directors and curators, foundation leaders, and art experts. The jurors are:
• Doryun Chong, Deputy Director, Curatorial and Chief Curator, M+
• The late Okwui Enwezor, Independent curator, critic, author and editor
• Kathy Halbreich, Executive Director, Robert Rauschenberg Foundation
• Yuko Hasegawa, Artistic Director, Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo
• Max Hollein, Director, The Metropolitan Museum of Art
• Nicholas Serota, Chair, Arts Council England
• Allan Schwartzman, Founder and Principal of Art Agency, Partners, and Chairman, Fine
Arts Division of Sotheby’s
No applications are accepted for these Awards, and all decisions by the jury are final.
Nomura will inaugurate the awards on May 21, 2019, with a press conference in Kyoto that will announce the two winners of the US$100,000 prizes for emerging artists. The briefing will be followed by a reception at the city’s Tofukuji temple. The US$1 million Nomura Art Award will be announced at a gala ceremony in Shanghai in October 2019.
Nomura Research Institute, Ltd. and Nomura Real Estate Holdings, Inc. are co-sponsors of the Nomura Art Award. Serving as an advisor to the Award is Art Agency, Partners, a division of Sotheby’s, which provides counsel to many of the world’s leading art collectors and institutions on a full range of issues, including innovative approaches to cultural philanthropy.

New Japanese art prize chooses inaugural emerging artist winners ahead of $1 million award
Chinese new media artist Cheng Ran and US artist Cameron Rowland receive $100,000 Nomura Emerging Artist Awards with world’s biggest art prize to be announced in October
The Art Newspaper, AIMEE DAWSON
21st May 2019 12:18 BST
quote:
The Chinese video artist Cheng Ran and the US artist Cameron Rowland have been named the first recipients of the Nomura Emerging Artist Awards. The new prize, which is funded by the Japanese financial company Nomura, comes with an unrestricted cash sum of $100,000 for each winner and aims to support artists at the beginning of their career. The artists were honoured at a ceremony today in Tofukuji temple in Kyoto, Japan.
…
quote:
However, the move also serves as a branding exercise that is likely part of a wider international marketing strategy. According to reports, Nomura has struggled to enter financial markets in the Western world, with its operations remaining predominantly within Asia. “Our financial services company is located in Asia but we want to conduct our business all over the world,” says Ikeda. “We would like to increase the power and strength of our brand. At the same time, as history says, we would like to support cultural activities—so we are trying to combine these two initiatives together.”
Does Prize Money Really Matter?

Nomura Job Cuts Begin as CEO Unveils Plan to Save $1 Billion
By Takashi Nakamichi , Donal Griffin , and Chanyaporn Chanjaroen
April 4, 2019
quotes:
CEO Nagai vows to ‘restart’ Japan’s biggest securities firm
Dozens of positions being shed in Europe and Asia, people say
Nomura Holdings Inc. unveiled plans to cut $1 billion of costs at its struggling investment bank, firing dozens and pulling back from businesses as it embarks on yet another sweeping overhaul of its international operations.
Japan’s largest securities firm will cull about 150 jobs across the Americas and Europe, the Middle East and Africa on top of reductions in Hong Kong and Singapore as part of the overhaul, people with knowledge of the matter said. Nomura executives told investors they intend to shrink the bank’s presence in dicier trading businesses overseas in favor of “risk-light” transactions for clients.
… quote
Nomura’s operations outside Japan have lost money for four straight quarters, buffeted by its stop-start international expansions as well as headwinds in Europe.
… quote
Most of the wholesale cost cuts will be completed by March 2020, Nomura said. The company also said it will eliminate at least 30 of its 156 retail brokerage branches dotted across Japan.
…quote
Credit rating companies have been keenly anticipating Nomura’s latest revival attempt. S&P Global Ratings said in February that it may consider reviewing the firm’s debt ratings if its restructuring efforts are unsuccessful and earnings power remains weak. Moody’s Investors Service said in November that it may downgrade the rating if the bank can’t improve profitability without adding risk to its balance sheet.

DORIS SALCEDO WINS $1 MILLION NOMURA ART AWARD, WORLD’S LARGEST CONTEMPORARY ART PRIZE
ARTFORUM, October 31, 2019
quote:
Salcedo will use the funds to continue “Acts of Mourning,” a series of ephemeral, large-scale works that have been made in collaboration with thousands of people and are intended to help those who are grappling with trauma and loss as the result of the five-decade civil war in Colombia. She began making the series in 1999 and has presented the work in Bogotá. For her most recent piece, Quebrantos (Shattered), 2019, Salcedo created a community memorial by writing the names of people who have been murdered in a plaza in the center of the city. She now intends to bring the series to remote regions of Colombia that have suffered greatly during the conflict.
