The shortlist for the Prix Marcel Duchamp, France's most prestigious art prize, has been announced. The five nominees are Joël Andrianomearisoa, David Brognon and Stéphanie Rollin, Laura Henno, and Josèfa Ntjam. The winner receives €35,000 from a total prize fund of €90,000. Due to the closure of the Centre Pompidou for renovations, the accompanying exhibition will be held at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris from 2 October 2026 to 14 February 2027. The winner will be announced on 22 October.
The Prix Marcel Duchamp is a key indicator of contemporary French art, with past winners including Gaëlle Choisne and Cyprien Gaillard. The prize's shift to a new venue highlights the impact of the Centre Pompidou's long closure on the Paris art scene. The diverse shortlist, featuring artists from Madagascar, Luxembourg, and France, underscores the prize's commitment to international and multidisciplinary talent.
