  Bollingen Prize - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bollingen Prize, awarded every two years by the Bollingen Foundation, is a prestigious literary honor bestowed on a poet in recognition of the best book of new verse within the last two years, or for lifetime achievement.
The prize was first conceived and funded by a $10,000 grant from the Bollingen Foundation to the Library of Congress in 1948.
In 1961 a similar prize was set up by the Bollingen Foundation for best translation and it was won by Robert Fitzgerald for his translation of the Iliad.

 Ezra Pound and Bollingen Prize controversy
The awards that the Library discontinued, besides the Bollingen Prize, were the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Medal for "eminent services to chamber music" and three prizes endowed by Lessing Rosenwald in connection with an annual national exhibition of prints.
After the prize was barred (and $9,000 returned to the donor) the Bollingen Foundation received a number of requests from universities to carry it on.
After 1968, when the Bollingen Foundation ended its programs (except for the Bollingen Series, which it gave to Princeton University Press to carry through its publication), the Andrew W Mellon Foundation took over, and in 1973 made an outright endowment of $100,000 to enable the Yale Library to continue awarding the prize in perpetuity.

Noguchi: The Bollingen Journey, puts on view, for the first time, over a hundred photographs and drawings Noguchi produced between 1949 and 1956 as he traveled and worked his way twice around the world; backtracking to certain places several times.
The Bollingen Foundation, established by Paul and Mary Conover Mellon, provided Noguchi with the funding for these travels and a publication venue for his manuscript and documentation, but the book was never completed.
As most of the modern art world in New York (in which Noguchi was a serious participant) turned inward and focused its attention and energy on the solitary work of the artist in the studio, Noguchi turned outward and focused his attention on the "creative arenas" of other cultures.
