Tilla Theus

Prix Meret Oppenheim

Tilla Theus is the 2026 winner of the Prix Meret Oppenheim in the Architecture category. Born in Coire, Theus opened her architecture studio in 1969, immediately after obtaining her degree from ETH Zurich. Her work, characterised by colour and ornament, has led her to be considered a key figure of Swiss postmodernity. Her projects include the Widder Hotel, Zurich; the police station of the Rathausbrücke, Zurich; and the FIFA headquarters, Zurich.

Greta Schödl

Lifetime Achievement Award

Flash Art Italia has awarded Greta Schödl the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Flash Art Italia Award 2026. Greta Schödl participated in the main exhibition of the Biennale Arte 2024. In her works, Schödl arranges letters and symbols in geometric forms and obsessively repeats them until they are rendered virtually abstract. As a surface, she has used stone, handmade paper, books, maps, personal letters, and household objects such as ironing boards, pillowcases and bed sheets. Through the combination of language and image, Schödl erases the original function of words and objects and imbues them with new meaning.

Lubaina Himid

PAMM Fund for Black Art Acquisition Prize

Lubaina Himid received the PAMM Fund for Black Art Acquisition Prize. The Turner Prize-winning artist’s painting Horn Seller (2023) will be acquired by the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM). Himid has an influential practice that merges sculpture and installation with her training in set design, collage and painting. Much of her work deals with the legacies of racism and the experiences of living in the UK as a Black person and an immigrant. Lubaina Himid will represent Great Britain at the Venice Biennale this year.

Lara Tabet and Yasmine Chemali

BMW ART MAKERS

Artist Lara Tabet and curator Yasmine Chemali are the winning duo of BMW ART MAKERS programme. They were chosen by the jury for their project Le corps vitré, which will be presented at the Rencontres d’Arles and Paris Photo. Le corps vitré explores the relationships between living beings, images, and the environment through an experimental process known as bacteriography. Using microbiological samples taken from aquatic environments located at the interface between natural spaces and industrial infrastructure, Lara Tabet creates images produced by the direct interaction between microorganisms and photosensitive surfaces.
