Elsa Werth, Winner of the 23rd Pernod Ricard Foundation Prize Makes Her Entrance at the Centre Pompidou
Paris-based artist Elsa Werth, winner of the 23rd Pernod Ricard Foundation Prize in October, saw her work enter the Centre Pompidou collections on Tuesday 6 June. This is one of the privileges that the Foundation grants to the laureate of its annual Prize, which is aimed at promoting and supporting the work of young emerging talents. This year, Elsa Werth was awarded the distinction in recognition of her multimedia work, which takes the form of installations, sculptures, videos or sound pieces, and was recently exhibited at the Pernod Ricard Foundation as part of the group exhibition “Horizons”, curated by Clément Dirié. During the ceremony, which continued on the roof of the Centre Pompidou, we met Alexandre Ricard, Laurent Le Bon, Xavier Ray, Jennifer Flay, Marie Maertens, Joseph Allen and Ivan Argotte, among many others.
