ARCOmadrid 2026artSofía Salazar Rosales and ChertLüddePrix Emerige – CPGAEmerige and the Comité Professionnel des Galeries d’Art announced Sofía Salazar Rosales and ChertLüdde gallery as the winners of the Prix Emerige – CPGA at ARCOmadrid 2026. Based in Paris and Quito, Ecuador, Salazar Rosales blends her ancestral heritage with regional and personal histories to create evocative sculptural works, using various processes to preserve, fossilize, or reproduce objects in ways that heighten their emotional impact. Drawing on material culture and history, she examines how everyday objects and goods can embody and transmit social, economic, and political narratives.Image: Sofía Salazar Rosales, El eterno insomnio, 2025.

Designed by architect Kazunori Sakai for his own family, Amami House is located on Amami Ōshima. Known for its high humidity, limited sunlight and increasingly extreme weather, the island begs for a different approach to architecture. In answer, Sakai took inspiration from buntō, a historical multi-volume layout, and local corrugated-metal and irimoya, or ‘hip-and-gable’ forms to create something novel and self-sustaining.Image: Sakai Architects, Amami House, Japan, 2025.

Buser, a Swiss-based reuse trailblazer, is an architect and urban planner known for pioneering recycling and repurposing in construction. Born and raised in Basel, Buser co-founded the Bauteilbörse in 1996, a building parts exchange which was the first of its kind in Switzerland. In 2001, she launched Zirkular, which tracks and maintains a catalogue of reuse components sourced from buildings, demolition sites and donors all over Switzerland, matching supply with demand.Image: baubüro in situ, Gundeldinger Feld, Basel, 2015.arTLubaina HimidAda Louise Huxtable PrizeBritish artist and curator Lubaina Himid has won the Ada Louise Huxtable Prize for Contribution to Architecture. The award recognises individuals from fields adjacent to architecture who have made a significant contribution to architecture and the built environment. Himid was the first Black artist to win the Turner Prize in 2017. Rising to prominence in the 1980s as part of the Black Arts Movement, she curated a number of key exhibitions. These included Five Black Women at the Africa Centre in 1983 and The Thin Black Line at the ICA in 1985, which introduced the work of young Black artists to new audiences in London. Himid’s work is a product of carefully looking at rooms, places and the world around her, of watching the ways people use and inhabit space. The artist will represent the UK at the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia.Image: Exhibition view, Lubaina Himid, Naming the Money (2004), Capc Musée d'art contemporain de Bordeaux, (31.10.2019-23.02.2020).

The duo "creatively designs opulent ‘spaces of desire’ that intertwine painting, film, design, language, performance and spatial references, enabling the development of conceptual art, painting and installation. Their works, which are part of the inspiring theme of queer-feminist and trans discourse on the body, make direct, sometimes explicit references to the examination of gender and sexuality in modern art, as found in the work of Oskar Kokoschka," explained the jury.Image: Jakob Lena Knebl & Ashley Hans Scheirl, exhibition view, Doppelganger !, Palais de Tokyo, 19.10.23 – 07.01.24.

Robert Earl Paige received the Design Visionary award. After earning a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and working for Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, Paige transitioned to creating commercial objects and fashion, partnering with Fiorio and Sears to produce scarves and interior décor. In the 1970s, his signature Dakkabar Collection, home furnishings inspired by West African textiles, was sold in over 100 Sears stores nationwide, introducing Black visual culture into mainstream design. A participant in the Black Arts Movement, Paige champions community engagement in art and culture, and his practice reflects a love of color, a commitment to design principles, and a belief in making art accessible for everyday people. Repurposing is central to his work, transforming found fibers, cardboard, and paper into new creations that invite others to embrace curiosity and making.Image: Robert Earl Paige, Installation view of United Colors of Robert Earl Paige, on view atHyde Park Art Center (Chicago, Illinois, 2024).
