The Marcel Duchamp Prize is an award initiated 24 years ago by a group of French art collectors and the ADIAF (Association pour l’diffusion internationale de l’art française). The prize received a notable impetus from French art collector Gilles Fuchs after observing a decline in the international reputation of French artists in the 1990s. His motivation was to contribute to a better representation and promotion of French art in a delicate context for the French contemporary art market.

Thierry Ehrmann , founder of Artprice and President of Artmarket.com, congratulates visual artist Gaëlle Choisne, as well as four other finalists for the 2024 Marcel Duchamp Prize: ” Our company is very proud to support the Association for the International Diffusion of French Art (ADIAF) and the Marcel Duchamp Prize. France remains a mecca of artistic creation thanks to the quality of its exhibitions and the vitality of its contemporary artists – from Surrealism at the Centre Pompidou to Tarsila do Amaral at the Musée du Luxembourg , Arte Povera at the Bourse de Commerce and Tom Wesselmann at the Fondation Louis Vuitton. France has huge potential that has not yet been fully realized on the contemporary art market. “

The Marcel Duchamp Prize was awarded by ADIAF President Claude Bonnin to one of the most promising young French artists between the Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art and the opening of the Art Basel Paris fair. Gaëlle Choisne’s work was recently exhibited at the MAC VAL in Vitry-sur-Seine, at the Reiffers Art Initiatives in Paris and at the KfW Stiftung in Frankfurt . After receiving the Aware 2021 prize 3 years ago, she has now been awarded France’s most prestigious art prize.

The Air de Paris gallery , which has represented Gaëlle Choisne since 2021 with a first solo exhibition in Romainville entitled ” Mondes subtiles “, describes her work in these words: Gaëlle Choisne combines a documentary approach (photography and video) with the use of raw materials to address socio-political issues related to the overexploitation of natural resources and colonial history. Born to a Haitian mother and a Breton father, the artist combines oral traditions, Creole mythology and popular culture in works that refer to both Haitian history and her own narrative .

Gaëlle Choisne is the only artist among the finalists for the 2024 Marcel Duchamp Prize who has not made any sales at public auction, proving that the ADIAF and its international jury are not influenced by the performance of auction houses. Last year’s winner , Tarik Kiswanson (1986), was also absent from the auction market. Like the Marcel Duchamp Prize , France sometimes gives the impression of treating the market as secondary.

The awarding of the Marcel Duchamp Prize on October 14, 2024 marks the beginning of a particularly important month for France. In addition to the third edition of Art Basel Paris (held at the Grand-Palais for the first time since FIAC) and the first edition of The Salon by NADA, there are also major auctions at Christie’s and Sotheby’s (which are inaugurating their brand new premises at the intersection of Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré and Avenue Matignon) and numerous gallery exhibitions.

France is once again experiencing a growth in art auction turnover, consolidating its 4th place worldwide and 1st place in the European Union with $62.8 million, i.e. 3.3% of global contemporary art auction turnover , according to Artprice’s latest annual report . France has an ideal gallery and market structure, with an extremely dense network of artists, museums, galleries, auction houses, fairs, etc., and there is no reason why it should not once again occupy an important place in the global contemporary art market, capable of attracting the world’s greatest art collectors.
