The Prix Marcel Duchamp, France’s most esteemed artwork prize, has named the artists nominated for its 2026 award. Whereas there are usually 4 nominees, this yr there are technically 5.
These nominees embrace Joël Andrianomearisoa, a Malagasy artist whose vibrant textiles have been exhibited extensively, and Josèfa Ntjam, a participant in final yr’s Bienal de São Paulo whose installations and sculptures handle fluid identities, typically by making reference to the African diaspora.
Additionally nominated this yr are Laura Henno and the duo David Brognon and Stéphanie Rollin. They may compete for an opportunity to win €35,000, or simply over $40,000, and can present collectively on the Musée d’Arte Moderne de Paris in October. (Sometimes, the nominees’ present takes place on the Centre Pompidou, although that museum is at the moment closed for a number of years whereas it undergoes renovations.)
