Lugano prize

As I noted in the edit summary, the "Lugano prize" does (or did) exist as evidenced by the following external links:

• this is certainly the prize in question http://www.guggenheim-venice.it/inglese/collections/artisti/hayter_bio.html
• this might be a contemporary evolution of the prize - not sure http://brunelleschi.imss.fi.it/nuncius/enln.asp?c=680
  • there is a site that is referenced by the link above, but I cannot discern anything about the prize as the site is in Italian without an English version http://brunelleschi.imss.fi.it/nuncius/enln.asp?c=680
• there are a number of internet pages that refer to "Lugano International Print Biennial" or "International Print Biennial in Lugano" where the 'grand prize' was considered a distinguished accomplishment

I think that someone with a background in the international art of the 1960's would be able to do a much better job of documenting this. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 18:12, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

The reference now in the article refers to the 1969 prize as the International Grand Prix for naif painters. Whether this was in Lugano or not is undefined. Brymor (talk) 21:44, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

I've added another reference from Google Books which establishes Lugano: International Grand Prix for naif painters at Lugano Brymor (talk) 16:06, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
