The Prix Marcel Duchamp jury announced Thursday that it has awarded the 2026 prize to artist duo David Brognon and Stéphanie Rollin, known for their multidisciplinary practice that spans installation, sculpture, video, performance, and photography. The Prix Marcel Duchamp is considered France’s most prestigious art prize, with winners recieving €35,000, or just over $40,000. For the award, a jury typically selects four nominees, who show together at the Centre Pompidou in October. This year, however, five nominees were chosen—Malagasy artist Joël Andrianomearisoa, Josèfa Ntjam, a participant in last year’s Bienal de São Paulo, artist and filmmaker Laura Henno, and Brognon and Rollin—and the annual exhibition was held at Musée d’Arte Moderne de Paris due to the Pompidou’s extended closure.

Paul Stankard, a visionary glass blower who memorialized flora and fauna in hardened and translucent form, died at the age of 83, according to a New York Times obituary that celebrates how his “decades-long obsession with replicating the natural world in glass transformed the American paperweight from tchotchke to fine art.” The cause of his death was cancer, according to his daughter. As the Times described Stankard’s fateful turn to the the mode of working he made his own, “In 1972, with three young children and a newborn at home, Mr. Stankard skipped out on a steady job blowing glass for chemical laboratories. He was in love—with paperweights.”
