The Egmont Schaefer Prize for Drawing is awarded every two years by the Berliner Kabinett e.V. to promote innovative drawing. It is named after the Berlin draughtsman Egmont Schaefer (1908–2004). The prize honours outstanding artistic positions that emanate from the elemental power of drawing, and is linked to an exhibition and publication.
Martin Colden (born 1955 in Rostock) studied painting at the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee (KHB) from 1976 to 1981 under Hans Vent. This was followed by an aspirancy at the KHB under Dieter Goltzsche until 1983. From 1989 to 1992 Colden was a master student at the Akademie der Künste, Berlin. He received several scholarships and prizes, among others.
