The Bob Calle Prix du livre d'artiste, created in 2017 by Laurence Dumaine Calle, is a European prize that aims to showcase the diversity of contemporary European artists' book creation.

The awards ceremony for the 5th edition will be held on Thursday June 5, 2025 at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. It will be followed, from 7pm to 9pm, by a book sale at the Bibliothèque d'art contemporain and an exhibition of the 50 works selected.

In this book, Christian Jaccard delivers long, powerful extracts from his unpublished diary, opened in 1968. As Nicolas Bourriaud reminds us in his preface: "From the outset, Christian Jaccard's work has been what he calls intelligible experimentation. Through his exploration of combustion phenomena. Today, Christian Jaccard, the pyronaut, is bringing his work to the fore, as a contemporary of climate change, a precursor of the aesthetics of the Anthropocene."

Born in 1956, Welsh artist James Rielly was head of studio at Beaux-Arts de Paris from 2005 to 2024. This comprehensive monograph, prefaced by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac and introduced by a text by Anaël Pigeat, chronologically retraces his career as an artist and reveals the true work of a colorist with a subtle, ethereal chromatic palette. 

Cassius Baron (drawings), 2023 graduate, Pauline de Fontgalland (sculpture), 2022 graduate and Louis Lanne (painting), 2023 graduate are the first winners of the grants created by the Taylor Foundation to support artists at Beaux-Arts de Paris. As such, they will receive a grant and an exhibition at the Foundation's headquarters.

This partnership between the Taylor Foundation and Beaux-Arts de Paris goes back to the history of this association, the first mutualist movement to bring together the artistic professions.

Graduating in 2024 with honors, photographer and video artist Zoé Bernardi is the winner of the 6th Sisley x Beaux-Arts de Paris prize for Young Creation.

This prize, co-created by Sisley and Beaux-Arts de Paris, aims to promote young artists. To support Zoé Bernardi in her future projects and the launch of her career, Sisley is offering her a scholarship and devoting an exhibition to her entitled “Les mots de la tribu” from June 6 to July 11 at its Paris headquarters as part of its Trois Cinq Friedland cultural program.

Demodernising to decolonise: modern art museums in the 21st century


Charles Esche, curator and writer living in Amsterdam, questions the way in which museums of modern and contemporary art are conditioned by their modern and colonial past, and invites us to explore new curatorial strategies and proposals through the example of the Van Abbemuseum in the Netherlands, which he directed for 20 years.

A two-year programme that combines artistic research with the acquisition of professional skills through immersion in a cultural sector organisation (museum, art centre, gallery, publisher, artist's studio, etc.).

The programme consists of three weeks in a company and one week at the school. Find out everything you need to know about the apprenticeship programme at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, consult the brochure.
