This year, for the first time since the creation of the prize in 2000, the exhibition will not be held at the Centre Pompidou, which will be closed for renovation. Instead, the exhibition will take place at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris from 26 September 2025 through 22 February 2026.

John Singer Sargent (Florence, 1856 – London, 1925), along with James McNeill Whistler, was the most famous American artist of his generation and certainly one of the greatest painters of the 19th and early 20th century. Revered in the United States (his Portrait of Madame X is regarded as the Mona Lisa of the American art collection conserved by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York), he is also famous in the United Kingdom, where he spent most of his career. In France, however, his name and work remain largely unknown, a situation that the exhibition at the Musée d'Orsay in fall 2025 hopes to change.

David Zwirner is pleased to announce an exhibition of works by renowned German artist Gerhard Richter at its Paris gallery. This marks the artist's third solo exhibition with the gallery since the gallery announced its representation in 2023, following previous exhibitions in New York (2023) and London (2024). The exhibition will feature a significant and distinctive selection of Richter's paintings from the 1990s to the 2010s, including photo-paintings, abstract paintings (Abstrakte Bilder), and reflective glass installations. These works, impressively diverse in scope, scale, and technique, collectively highlight the artist's broad understanding of the medium and his ongoing investigation into the process of image-making itself.

It demonstrates how American art catalyzed the revolutionary energy of thinkers, activists, and poets who transcended genre and profoundly altered perspectives in our world today.

The exhibition traces the extraordinary life of this Italian artist, a Russian prince by birth and Parisian by adoption, who also had a brilliant career in the United States. A highly talented portraitist, he was much sought-after by a cosmopolitan elite, celebrities, the Parisian smart set and the first American film stars. His life was marked by decisive encounters and friendships with men of letters, Tolstoy in Russia and George Bernard Shaw in Paris, with whom he shared a vegetarian lifestyle, somewhat unusual for the era. In addition to the portraits that made his name, the exhibition will be highlighting his animal sculptures along with his astonishing work on behalf of animal rights, of which he was an ardent advocate well ahead of his time.
