Prix Solo artgenève

The artgenève exhibition was held for the fourth time from 29 January to 1st February this year at Palexpo, Geneva.

A leading artistic platform for contemporary art, modern art and design, this event is unique in French-speaking Switzerland and brings together more than seventy international galleries from fourteen countries. It focuses largely on institutional and private collections, as well as independent spaces.

The company F.P. Journe takes part in this event by awarding the Prix Solo artgenève - F.P. Journe to the best personal exhibition by an artist featured in one of the thirty solo shows organised by participating galleries. The jury is composed of key personalities from the world of European art: Andrea Bellini (director of the Centre of Contemporary Art, Geneva), Caroline Bourgeois (curator of the François Pinault Foundation) and Nicolaus Schafhausen (director of the Kunsthalle Wien).

The 2015 edition of the Prix Solo artgenève - F.P. Journe went to the gallery Xippas for work by Lucas Samaras. The presentation of this award allows the Geneva company to acquire a work by the artist, which will be donated this year to the Cantonal Contemporary Art Fund.
