Presentation of the Ricard 2015 Corporate Foundation Prize

Since 2000, the Centre Pompidou has hosted each year the Ricard Foundation Prize, which rewards an emerging artist from the young French scene. The works of the laureates, donated by the Fondation d’entreprise Ricard to the Musée national d’art moderne, thus singularly enrich its collections.

A jury of collectors and professionals yesterday evening awarded the 17th Ricard Foundation Prize to the artist duo Florian Pugnaire and David Raffini for their two video works In Fine (2010) and Casse pipe (2010), which join those of Natacha Lesueur, Tatiana Trouvé, Isabelle Cornaro and Adrien Missika.

The prize was awarded on the occasion of the exhibition”L’Ordre des Lucioles”, designed by Marc-Olivier Wahler at the Fondation d’entreprise Ricard in 2015.
