Ricard Prize
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ricard Prize (or Prix Ricard S.A.) was founded in 1999 and in 2006 its name changed to Prix Fondation d’Entreprise Ricard. The prize is awarded each year during the Parisian art fair FIAC by a committee of French collectors (friends of the Centre Pompidou, Jeu de Paume, Palais de Tokyo and FRAC Nord-Pas-de-Calais) to an artist under 40 years old featured in an annual group show curated by a different curator each year. The Prize consists in buying a work of 10 000 euros minimum to the prize winner and donated then to the Musée National d'Art Moderne - Centre Pompidou to be part of their permanent collection.
