Gaëlle Choisne wins the 2024 Marcel Duchamp Prize

The prestigious Marcel Duchamp Prize 2024 was awarded to Gaëlle Choisne by the ADIAF at the Centre Pompidou. Created 24 years ago to promote French contemporary art, this prize highlights the country's unexplored potential on the international art scene. Artprice by Artmarket, through its president Thierry Ehrmann, reiterates its support for the ADIAF and this prize, illustrating France's continued vitality in contemporary art.

Choisne, representing the Air de Paris gallery and the only candidate without an auction, is known for her practice combining documentation and raw materials, evoking socio-political issues. This artist's victory reflects an evaluation based on artistic merit rather than market results.

The Marcel Duchamp Prize kicks off a busy month for the French art market, with Art Basel Paris and major sales at Christie's and Sotheby's. France is thus consolidating its position on the global market.
