Prix Meret-Oppenheim Explained
The Grand Prix suisse d’art / Prix Meret-Oppenheim is an award given to Swiss artists. The prize has been awarded annually since 2001.
Each year, the Federal Office of Culture (OFC), based upon the recommendations of the Federal Art Commission (CFA), awards one or more prizes worth forty thousand Swiss francs (initially thirty-five thousand francs) to recognized Swiss artists, as well as architects and cultural mediators, over the age of forty. The prize is named after Meret Oppenheim (1913–1985), the Swiss visual artist and writer. The awards ceremony takes place in June, during the Art Basel fair.[1]
In order to support young artists, architects and cultural mediators, the OFC has established the Federal Art Prize, as well as the Kiefer-Hablitzel Foundation scholarship.
